Context: The Hebrew word אֶשֶׁד (Eshed) appears in the context of describing natural watercourses or streams. It is used to denote the flowing or pouring out of water, often in a geographical setting. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is found in Deuteronomy 3:17, which describes the boundary of the land given to the Israelites: "the Arabah also, with the Jordan as its border, from Kinnereth to the Sea of the Arabah (the Salt Sea), below the slopes of Pisgah on the east." Here, אֶשֶׁד is translated as "slopes," indicating the descending flow or outpouring of the terrain leading to the Jordan River. The term captures the imagery of water flowing down a slope or hillside, emphasizing the natural movement and direction of water in the landscape. This word is significant in understanding the geographical descriptions in the Hebrew Bible, providing insight into the natural features of the land of Israel.
