the Bashan
| Root | בשן (b-š-n) |
| Core Meanings | (uncertain); possibly softness, fertility, rich soil |
| Semantic Range | The fertile plateau east of the Jordan River; a region famed for rich pastureland, strong cattle, and mighty oaks. |
| Conceptual Significance | Bashan represents abundance, agricultural richness, and formidable strength in the Hebrew Bible. Its well-fed cattle and strong oaks become poetic symbols of prosperity, pride, and at times oppressive power. |
| Morphological Notes | Proper noun masculine singular (Np) with prefixed definite article (HTd). The article is regularly attached to this place name in biblical usage. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form includes the prefixed definite article (הַ) attached to the proper noun בָּשָׁן, requiring the rendering "the Bashan." As a singular proper place name (Np) with article (Td), the translation preserves both its definiteness and its identity as a specific geographic region. |
