ashedah: Slope, Ridge

Original Word: אַשְׁדָּה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: ashedah
Pronunciation: ash-daw'
Phonetic Spelling: (ash-ay-daw')

Meaning: a ravine

Word Origin: Derived from the root word שָׁדַד (shadad), meaning "to pour out" or "to overflow."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for "ashedah," as it is a specific Hebrew term related to the geography of the Promised Land. However, Greek terms related to land features include ὄρος (oros, G3735) for "mountain" and λόφος (lophos, G2995) for "hill."

Usage: The term "ashedah" refers to a geographical feature, specifically a slope or ridge. It is used to describe the natural contours of the land, often in the context of describing the boundaries or characteristics of a particular region.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the topography of the land was significant for both practical and symbolic reasons. The slopes and ridges of the land were not only important for agriculture and settlement but also held spiritual significance. The Israelites often saw the land as a gift from God, and its features were sometimes used metaphorically in biblical literature to convey spiritual truths.
