Word Origin:The origin of the name "Goshen" is uncertain, but it is a proper noun used to designate a specific region in Egypt.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:There is no direct Greek equivalent for Goshen in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible.

Usage:Goshen is primarily known as the region in Egypt where the Israelites settled during the time of Joseph. It is described as a fertile area suitable for grazing livestock, which was significant for the pastoral lifestyle of the Israelites. The name "Goshen" is used to denote a place of refuge and provision for God's people during their sojourn in Egypt.

Cultural and Historical Background:Goshen was located in the northeastern part of Egypt, likely in the Nile Delta region. It was given to the Israelites by Pharaoh during the time of Joseph, as recorded in the book of Genesis. This area was strategically important as it provided the Israelites with the resources needed to thrive and multiply. The settlement in Goshen allowed the Israelites to maintain their distinct cultural and religious identity while living in a foreign land.
