Havilah

Land of gold, bdellium, and onyx circled by the Pishon (2:11-12). Expedition Bible's Joel Kramer, tracing the Pishon to the dry Wadi Ar-Rummah, places Havilah along its course through Saudi Arabia — a region that still hosts dozens of gold mines and the onyx- and resin-bearing Hejaz ravines the text describes. Also a name in both Cush's and Joktan's lines (10:7, 10:29).
