Genesis 2:13

The second river is called Gihon [meaning: to break, to gush forth],
it is the one that flows around (meanders) the whole land of Cush. [Later in the Old Testament, Cush refers to the area of the upper Nile (present-day Ethiopia/Sudan), here it probably refers to the land of the Kassites in Mesopotamia east of the Tigris.]
