However, the region may be indirectly referenced in Greek texts that discuss the broader geographical and historical context of the Near East. Usage: The term is used in the context of a geographical region, specifically in the Old Testament, to denote an area known for its fertile lands and historical significance. Context: Chavran, or Hauran, is a region mentioned in the Bible, situated to the east of the Jordan River. It is historically recognized for its rich agricultural land and strategic location. The area is referenced in Ezekiel 47:16, where it is described as part of the boundaries of the land allotted to the tribes of Israel: "Hamath, Berothah, Sibraim (which is between the border of Damascus and the border of Hamath), as far as Hazer-hatticon, which is on the border of Hauran." (BSB). The region's name is thought to be derived from a root meaning "white," possibly alluding to the color of its soil or the appearance of its landscape. In biblical times, Hauran was known for its fertile plains, making it a valuable area for agriculture and settlement. The region's historical and geographical significance is underscored by its mention in the delineation of Israel's borders, highlighting its importance in the biblical narrative.
