valley
A geographical feature denoting a valley, ravine, or deep gorge, typically bounded by high sides and sometimes used as a location reference for settlements, travel, or significant events. The term often suggests steep or sharply-defined sides, in contrast to broader, open valleys (עֵמֶק, 'emeq'). The word may describe both arid and lush areas, depending on context, and is frequently associated with both positive and negative symbolism in biblical narrative and poetry.
