Usage: The term "Arad" is used in the context of a geographical location and its inhabitants, specifically a Canaanite city and its king who opposed the Israelites during their wilderness journey. Context: Arad is mentioned in the Old Testament as a Canaanite city whose king opposed the Israelites during their journey to the Promised Land.
