gan.nah denotes a cultivated planted place, portrayed as bearing fruit, needing water, or used as a setting for human activity.

The term denotes a cultivated planted place across varied contexts: people plant and eat its produce, shoots and sowings grow there, and it may be compared with a watered or withering site. The same kind of place also appears as a setting for chosen practices and sacrifices.

   The plural absolute forms occur where such places are planted and their fruit or produce is eaten: in Amos 9:14 the APB renders, “they will make gardens and eat their fruit,” and in Jeremiah 29:5 it renders, “plant gardens and eat their produce.” In Isaiah 61:11 the singular absolute form is part of a comparison in which a garden causes its sowings to spring up; Numbers 24:6 similarly compares spread-out groups to gardens beside a river. The term can also name the place affected by lack of water in Isaiah 1:30 or the setting of sacrifices in Isaiah 65:3.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB regularly presents the term with “gardens,” especially in clauses about planting, fruit, water, and sacrifices. Its wording confirms the verse-level setting rather than isolating every individual token's English rendering.
