Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Bashan, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament. However, the region is referenced in the Septuagint, the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, under the same name.

Usage: Bashan is frequently mentioned in the Old Testament as a region east of the Jordan River, known for its rich pastures and strong cattle. It is often associated with the territories conquered by the Israelites under Moses and later settled by the half-tribe of Manasseh.

Context: Bashan is a significant geographical and historical region in the biblical narrative. It is located east of the Sea of Galilee and the Jordan River, extending to the borders of Gilead in the south and Mount Hermon in the north. The region is characterized by its fertile plains and was renowned for its "oaks of Bashan" and "cattle of Bashan," as noted in several biblical passages.

Bashan was ruled by King Og, one of the last of the Rephaim, whom the Israelites defeated during their conquest of the Promised Land (Deuteronomy 3:1-11). The land was subsequently allotted to the half-tribe of Manasseh (Joshua 13:29-31). The region's fertility and agricultural wealth are highlighted in passages such as Ezekiel 39:18, where the "fatlings of Bashan" are mentioned.

In the prophetic literature, Bashan is often used symbolically to represent strength and prosperity. For example, in Psalm 22:12, the "strong bulls of Bashan" are used metaphorically to describe powerful adversaries. The region's lush pastures and robust livestock made it a symbol of abundance and strength throughout the biblical text.
