The Hebrew word is pardes, which is cognate to the English word paradise. The source of the word is Old Persian. It means orchard or walled park. The word appears three times in the Hebrew Bible, Ec 2:5, Song 4:13, and Ne 2:8.

In Jewish literature the term Gan Eden (Garden of Eden) is often used with a connotation of Paradise., i.e. a celestial dwelling place of the righteous.
