Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Gozan in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to a geographical location in the Hebrew Bible.

Usage: Gozan is a region mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, often associated with the exile of the Israelites. It is depicted as a place where the Israelites were taken captive by the Assyrians. The term is used to denote a geographical location rather than a specific city.

Cultural and Historical Background: Gozan is historically identified with the region around the Habor River, a tributary of the Euphrates, in what is now modern-day northern Syria. During the 8th century BCE, the Assyrian Empire expanded its territory, and Gozan became a significant location for the resettlement of exiled peoples, including the Israelites from the Northern Kingdom. This area was part of the Assyrian provincial system, which facilitated the control and administration of conquered territories.
