Tigris

Ti´gris

River, one of the two major rivers (the other is the Euphrates) that nourished an extensive floodplain providing the physical basis for the rise of civilization in the ancient Near East. In (Gen 2:14), it is identified as the third river “which flows east of Assyria” running out of Eden. It was designated also as the location in which Daniel received a major vision (Dan 10:4).
