Bashan
ba.shan is a proper place name marking a land, its cities, people, rulers, and produce in biblical settings.

The supplied morphology identifies the form as a proper noun. In Deuteronomy 3:10 the APB renders the clause as taking “all of Bashan” and calls its cities part of Og’s kingdom; Joshua 13:30 similarly describes a boundary including “all Bashan,” Og’s kingdom, and villages. The name also locates Golan in Joshua 20:8 and pasture in Jeremiah 50:19.
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB commonly retains the name “Bashan,” whether for a route, a land, Og’s kingdom, cities, pasture, or features such as oaks. Those surrounding descriptions show the verse context rather than supplying separate translations of the term.
