Strong's Lexicon Golan: Golan Original Word: גּוֹלָן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning "to exile" or "to remove." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Golan in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. Usage: Golan is a city of refuge located in the territory of Bashan, east of the Jordan River. It was designated as one of the six cities of refuge where individuals who had accidentally committed manslaughter could seek asylum and receive a fair trial (Joshua 20:8). Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, cities of refuge were established to provide protection for those who had unintentionally caused the death of another person. This system was part of the Mosaic Law, designed to ensure justice and prevent blood vengeance. Golan, being one of these cities, played a crucial role in maintaining social order and upholding the principles of justice and mercy. It was located in the region of Bashan, known for its fertile land and strong cattle.
