Genesis 2:9 Thus Jehovah God made to grow out of the ground every tree desirable to one’s sight and good for food and also the tree of life in the middle of the garden and the tree of the knowledge of good and bad.
It says there was a tree desirable to on'es sight and good for food,then the tree of life, and the tree of knowledge of good and bad. Does this mean there was 3 trees in the middle of the garden of Eden?

Or were they referring to the same tree with just different names?

There were many trees in the garden of Eden. God said they could eat of all the trees in the garden except for the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. Note He did not say simply knowledge but the knowledge of good and evil.

It was like a garden paradise.So there would have been lots of trees bearing all kinds of fruits.
However, there was the tree of knowledge of good and bad.There was also the tree of life.This is the tree that the two cherubs guarded once Adam and Eve were evicted out of Eden,after eating from the tree of knowledge.

"every tree desirable to one's sight and good for food"....to me that sounds like SEVERAL trees. i think the Garden of Eden had many, many trees in it. but, there were two particularly special trees as pointed out in this scripture.
