bo.han is used as the proper name attached to a stone marking boundary routes in Joshua.

The attested use is a proper name associated with a stone named in two boundary descriptions, where the routes pass or descend by that landmark.

Senses in use

  1. Proper name in a boundary-stone landmark · dominant

    In Joshua 15:6, the proper noun occurs in the clause describing the border’s ascent to a stone; the APB renders this landmark as “the stone of Bohan son of Reuben.” In Joshua 18:17, the boundary descends to the same named stone, rendered “the stone of Bohan the son of Reuben.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across both verses, the APB presents the name within “the stone of Bohan,” adding “son of Reuben” or “the son of Reuben.” The verse is read as a whole, but both boundary clauses identify the same named landmark.
