Amos Listen to this word, you cows of Bashan, who are on the mountain of Samaria, who oppress the poor, who crush the needy, who tell their husbands, "Bring us drinks!
Nahum He rebukes the sea, and makes it dry, and dries up all the rivers. Bashan languishes, and Carmel; and the flower of Lebanon languishes. Zechariah Wail, fir tree, for the cedar has fallen, because the stately ones are destroyed. Wail, you oaks of Bashan, for the strong forest has come down. Encyclopedia BASHAN ba'-shan ha-bashan, "the Bashan"; Basan : This name is probably the same in meaning as the cognate Arabic bathneh, "soft, fertile land," or bathaniyeh batanaea , "this land sown with wheat" "wheatland".
Boundaries: It often occurs with the article, "the Bashan," to describe the kingdom of Og, the most northerly part of the land East of the Jordan. It stretched from the border of Gilead in the South to the slopes of Hermon in the North. Hermon itself is never definitely included in Bashan, although Og is said to have ruled in that mountain Joshua ; Joshua This would agree with Joshua ; Joshua , which seem to make Geshur and Maacath the western boundary of Bashan.
If this were so, then these unconquered peoples literally "dwelt in the midst of Israel. If Golan lay in the district in which its name is still preserved el Jaulan , this also brings it to the lip of the Jordan valley Deuteronomy Perhaps we should, with Wetzstein Das batanaische Giebelgebirge take these phrases as descriptive of Jebel Chauran, now usually called Jebel ed-Druze, with its many striking summits.
This range protected the province from encroachment by the sands of the wilderness from the East. On the South Bashan marched with the desert steppe, el-Chamad, and Gilead. Of the western boundary as we have seen there can be no certainty. It is equally impossible to draw any definite line in the North. Characteristics: Bashan thus included the fertile, wooded slopes of Jebel ed-Druze, the extraordinarily rich plain of el-Chauran en-Nuqrah-see HAURAN , the rocky tract of el-Leja', the region now known as el-Jedur, resembling the Chauran in character, but less cultivated; and, perhaps, the breezy uplands of el-Jaulan, with its splendid reaches of pasture land.
It was a land rich in great cities, as existing ruins sufficiently testify. It can hardly be doubted that many of these occupy sites of great antiquity. We may specially note Ashtaroth and Edrei, the cities of Og; Golan, the city of refuge, the site of which is still in doubt; and Salecah Calkhad , the fortress on the ridge of the mountain, marking the extreme eastern limit of Israel's possessions.
This is one of the castles that was built by the Muslims, but it changed hands several times in the 12th century. The fortress was strengthened in the 13th century and most remains visible today are from that period. The mountain is over 1, feet m long, and in places, its width reaches feet m.
The summit rises to an elevation of 2, feet m above sea level. The castle is also known as the Citadel of the Mosquitoes since swarms tend to rise up at times and cover the entire area.
The Golan Heights belonged to the country of Syria until Today evidence of Syrian habitation, including military bases and mosques right lie in ruins throughout the area. The region is now populated by Druze who lived there before the war and Israelis who have moved in since the war. Syria insists on the return of the Golan Heights as part of any peace agreement. Four concentric circles surround a central cairn.
The largest circle measures feet m in diameter. The walls measure up to The function of Rogem Hiri is not known. Suggestions include that it was a defensive complex, a burial complex, an astronomical observation center, or the tomb of Og, giant king of Bashan Deut The Golan is a basalt plateau which rises in the northeast to an average altitude of 3, feet m above sea level.
The Golan Heights is bordered by Mt. Hermon on the north and the Yarmuk River on the south. At the northeastern corner is an inactive chain of volcanic cones. Their activities in the past created thick basalt layers, resulting in rocky terrain unsuitable for intensive agriculture.
Instead, it is used mainly for grazing and pasture.
