ra.a.nan describes leafy, green, flourishing vegetation and, in one love-song image, a green couch.

The adjective most often characterizes trees in scenes set beneath them, including high-place and idol-related settings; it also depicts an olive tree, a native tree, and a green couch. The supplied verses consistently point to verdant, flourishing appearance rather than a separate abstract use.

1. Leafy or green appearance · dominant

   The masculine singular form qualifies “tree” in settings beneath every such tree: in Deuteronomy 12:2 the APB renders places of worship “under every luxuriant tree,” and in Jeremiah 3:6 it renders Israel’s action under the same kind of tree. In Jeremiah 11:16 the tree is an olive tree “beautiful in fruit of form,” while Song of Songs 1:16 uses the feminine singular form in the APB’s description of a couch as “green.”

In the Anselm Project Bible: Across many tree contexts, the APB uses “luxuriant tree,” including Deuteronomy 12:2 and Ezekiel 6:13; in Song of Songs 1:16 it renders the described couch as “green.” Its wording confirms the verse-level imagery rather than fixing a separate English equivalent in every occurrence.
