Berean Strong's Lexicon Eshan: Eshan Original Word: אֵשָׁן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be firm or strong. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Eshan, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of land inheritance and settlement can be related to Greek terms like "κληρονομία" (kleronomia - inheritance) found in the New Testament. Usage: Eshan is a place name mentioned in the Old Testament. It is identified as a town in the territory allotted to the tribe of Judah. The name itself suggests a sense of firmness or strength, which may reflect the characteristics or the strategic importance of the location. Cultural and Historical Background: Eshan is one of the lesser-known towns listed in the tribal allotments of Judah. During the time of the conquest and settlement of Canaan, the Israelites, under Joshua's leadership, divided the land among the twelve tribes. Each tribe received specific territories, and Eshan was part of the inheritance of Judah. The town's mention in the biblical text underscores the detailed record-keeping and the importance of land distribution in ancient Israelite society.
