a.ram na.ha.ra.yim is a geographical proper name used for a place connected with travel, kingship, and hired forces.

The term is attested as a geographical proper name: Genesis 24:10 places a servant's journey there, 1 Chronicles 19:6 names it as a source of hired chariots and horsemen, and Judges 3:8 identifies it with a king's setting; its specific contribution is not visible in the supplied APB wording for Deuteronomy 23:5 or Psalm 60:2.

    The supplied morphology identifies every occurrence as a proper noun. In Genesis 24:10 the APB renders the servant as going "to Mesopotamia, to the city of Nahor"; in 1 Chronicles 19:6 it names "Aram-Naharaim" among the places from which Ammon hires chariots and horsemen, and in Judges 3:8 it renders the king as "king of Mesopotamia." The supplied APB text for Deuteronomy 23:5 and Psalm 60:2 does not visibly isolate the term's contribution.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB explicitly uses "Mesopotamia" in Genesis 24:10 and Judges 3:8, while 1 Chronicles 19:6 uses "Aram-Naharaim." Its supplied wording in Deuteronomy 23:5 and Psalm 60:2 does not show a clear rendering of the term.
