The home of our first parents, Adam and Eve (Gen. 2: 8—3: 24; 4: 16; 2 Ne. 2: 19-25; Moses 3, 4; Abr. 5), designated as a garden, eastward in Eden. Adam and Eve were sent out of Eden after eating of the forbidden fruit and becoming mortal (Moses 4: 29). Latter-day revelation confirms the biblical account of the Garden of Eden. It adds the important information that the garden was located on what is now the North American continent (D&C 116; 117: 8).
