Jericho
ye.ri.cho is the place-name used for a city and its surrounding geographical setting in biblical narratives and boundary descriptions.
The term consistently functions as a proper place-name: it identifies the city in accounts of its king, inhabitants, capture, and rebuilding, and also marks nearby plains, routes, borders, and locations described in relation to it.
