1. A named land region · dominant

   The feminine singular noun identifies a territorial area alongside other regions. In Deuteronomy 1:7 the APB renders it within a travel itinerary that also names the Arabah, hill country, Negeb, and seacoast; in Joshua 11:16 it occurs in Joshua's account of taking the land and also in the phrase rendered "its Shephelah." In Joshua 15:33 the APB introduces a list of towns with "In the Shephelah," while 2 Chronicles 28:18 describes cities of this area being raided.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB usually retains the designation "Shephelah." In Jeremiah 32:44 and Jeremiah 33:13 it instead uses "western foothills" and "lowland" in regional lists; These are presentations of the verses rather than separate lexical senses.
