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

The term is consistently a proper geographical name: it identifies a land and its extent, is attached to Og and his kingdom, and locates cities, pasture, animals, trees, and other features associated with that land.

Senses in use

  1. The land and region named Bashan · dominant

    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.
