ʻărâbâh
in the plains of
A dry steppe, plain, or arid region; specifically, the broad, low-lying rift valley running from the Sea of Galilee (Kinneret) through the Dead Sea to the Gulf of Aqaba/Eilat. In many texts it refers to this distinctive geographical region south of the Dead Sea. More broadly, the term can denote any wilderness or barren plain often characterized by a lack of fertility or settled habitation. Occasionally, the term is used more figuratively to describe a desolate or uninhabited place. The primary lexical sense emphasizes a dry depression or flatland, distinct from cultivated valleys or mountainous terrain.
