Strong's Lexicon ashedah: Slope, Ridge Original Word: אֲשֵׁדָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: ashedah Pronunciation: ash-daw' Phonetic Spelling: (ash-ay-daw') Definition: a ravine Meaning: A ravine or a steep valley, often characterized by its rugged and precipitous nature. Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁדַד (shadad), meaning "to devastate" or "to destroy." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents in the Strong's Concordance that correspond to the specific Hebrew term אֲשֵׁדָה. However, Greek terms related to geographical features such as ravines or valleys might include terms like φάραγξ (pharags) or κοιλάς (koilas), which describe similar topographical features. Usage: The term אֲשֵׁדָה is used in the context of describing geographical features, specifically referring to a ravine or a steep valley. It is a rare term in the Hebrew Bible. Context: The Hebrew word אֲשֵׁדָה (Ashedah) appears in the context of describing the topographical features of the land of Israel. It is specifically mentioned in Deuteronomy 3:17, where it is used to describe the boundary of the land given to the tribes of Reuben and Gad. The verse reads: "the Arabah also, with the Jordan as its border, from Chinnereth to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea), below the slopes of Pisgah on the east." Here, "the slopes of Pisgah" are understood to refer to the steep and rugged terrain, which includes ravines or valleys. The term captures the dramatic and often harsh landscape that characterizes much of the region. The use of אֲשֵׁדָה highlights the natural fortifications and challenges presented by such terrain, which would have been significant in the historical and military context of the biblical narrative.
