Chiddeqel, I believe pronounced KHID-DEH-KEL, means rapid; to be swift; a swift horse. A River in Eden.
Notes:
The River Chiddeqel is the Third River Named in Genesis 2. Spared from major alteration or outright substitution. Also Known As Tigris River.
**Vowel Pointing Used for the Modern Hebrew Letter Chet. I Spelled Phonetically and Underlined the ch due to the guttural, aspirated h sound as in Bach (the German Composer) and not having the Vowel Pointing Font Available. Please Refer to the Pronunciation Guide in the HalleluYaH Scriptures Name Meaning Booklet for More Information.
