What exactly is
"paradise"? It is not a "
pair of dice". No gambling allowed in paradise. If you roll a "
four" and a "
two" it is a "
fortuitous paradise" as in a "
Four two. It's a pair of dice.".
The ancient Greek word
"παράδεισος" ≈ "paradise, enclosed park". The word
"paradise" is a Persian word brought into Greek as "
peri" (around) the "
dise" (enclosed) - or a garden.
The English "garden" from the German "garten" as garden. A "Kindergarten" is a garden for children.
The English "yard" comes from the hard "g" sound softening to the "y" sound.
The Russian "сад" (sot, sod) for garden is related to the English word "sod" for earth or ground.
Were we created to work in a garden? Was Adam created to work in a garden.
