However, related concepts of wilderness or desert might be found under Greek terms like ἔρημος (erēmos - G2048), meaning "desert" or "wilderness."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Shur is a desert region mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, often associated with the wilderness area located to the east of Egypt and to the south of Canaan. It is frequently referenced as a place of travel or passage, particularly in the context of the Israelites' journey and other biblical narratives.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>The Desert of Shur is historically significant as a geographical marker in the ancient Near East. It served as a boundary region between Egypt and the lands to the east, including Canaan. The area was known for its harsh, arid conditions, making it a challenging environment for travelers. In biblical times, it was a common route for those journeying from Egypt to the Promised Land.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/7794.htm">shor</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a desert region S.W. of Pal. on E. border of Eg.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Shur (6).<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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> III. <font class="hebrew2">שׁוּר</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>southwest of Palestine, on east border of Egypt</b></font>; — <a href="/interlinear/genesis/16-7.htm">Genesis 16:7</a> (J; <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">דֶּרֶךְ שׁ</font>), <a href="/interlinear/genesis/20-1.htm">Genesis 20:1</a> (E), towards Egypt <a href="/interlinear/genesis/25-18.htm">Genesis 25:18</a> (J), <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/15-7.htm">1 Samuel 15:7</a>, <font class="hebrew2">שׁ֫וּרָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/27-8.htm">1 Samuel 27:8</a>; <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מִדְּבַּרשֿׁ</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/15-22.htm">Exodus 15:22</a> (J). — Often supposed to denote properly the 'wall' or line of fortresses, built by Egyptian kings across isthmus of Suez; but dubious: compare Dr<sup>Hast.
