However, geographical terms related to boundaries and regions can be found in the Greek Septuagint translations of the Old Testament.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Maaleh Aqrabbim refers to a specific geographical location mentioned in the Bible, known as the "Ascent of Akrabbim" or "Scorpion Pass." It is a notable landmark that served as a boundary marker in the southern region of ancient Israel.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Maaleh Aqrabbim is located in the Negev desert region, which is characterized by its arid climate and rugged terrain. The name "Scorpion Pass" likely reflects the presence of scorpions in the area, which were common in the desert environment. This pass was a significant route for travelers and traders moving between the southern regions of Israel and neighboring territories. It also served as a boundary marker for the tribal allotments of Judah and the southern border of the Promised Land.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/4608.htm">maaleh</a> and <a href="/hebrew/6137.htm">aqrab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>"ascent of scorpions," a place on the S. border of Isr.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ascent of Akrabbim (3).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Maaleh-accrabim, the ascent going up of Akrabbim <p>From <a href="/hebrew/4608.htm">ma'aleh</a> and (the plural of) <a href="/hebrew/6137.htm">aqrab</a>;
