gin.nah denotes a garden setting, including a royal palace garden and a planted garden of nut trees.

The attested use denotes a garden as a defined setting: three occurrences concern the king's palace garden in Esther, while Song of Songs 6:11 locates a descent to a garden of nut trees among valley vegetation, vines, and pomegranates.

Senses in use

  1. Garden as a defined outdoor setting · dominant

    All four occurrences use the construct singular form. In Esther 1:5 the APB renders a feast held in the court of the king's palace garden; in Esther 7:7 and Esther 7:8 it renders the place to which the king goes and from which he returns as the palace garden. In Song of Songs 6:11 the APB renders a descent to the garden of nut trees to observe valley verdure, vines, and pomegranates.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the setting as "the garden of the king's palace," "the palace garden," and "the garden of the nut trees." These phrases confirm the verse-level setting rather than isolate a precise English equivalent for each token.
