ok so it goes: - Egypt: 400x400 parasangs - Cush: 60 times bigger than that - the rest of the world: 60 times bigger than that - the Garden of Eden: 60 times bigger than that - Eden itself: 60 times bigger than that - Gehenna: 60 times bigger than that #DafYomi#Taanit10
@Felthry possibly! i'm obvs not super familiar with Christian tradition, but as far as Jewish tradition, stuff definitely gets . . . swimmy around the Garden, at least in the Talmud so far, and also in certain medieval prayers for the dead. but i also get a big "we don't worry about the specifics too much" vibe? like there's not a lot of halakhah to be derived from it and we don't have the concept of original sin, so the entire Garden story is like, less of a big deal in Jewish circles than Christian ones, is my general vibe
