It can denote a geographical feature such as a hillside or a streambed. In a metaphorical sense, it can also imply abundance or a foundational aspect of something.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, water was a precious resource, and geographical features like slopes and streambeds were vital for agriculture and sustaining life. The imagery of water flowing or pouring out would resonate with an agrarian society that depended on seasonal rains and natural watercourses for survival. The concept of "eshed" as a foundation or outpouring can also be seen in the context of God's provision and blessings, which are often depicted as abundant and life-giving.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a foundation, bottom, lower part<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>slope (1).<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> <font class="hebrew2">אֶ֫שֶׁד</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>foundation, bottom, lower part</b></font> (slope) (Assyrian <i><em>išdu</em></i> compare Lotz<sup>TP 186</sup>;
