However, geographical terms related to mountains or hills in the Greek New Testament include "ὄρος" (oros) for mountain.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Gaash is a mountain or hill country mentioned in the Old Testament. It is primarily known as the burial place of Joshua, the leader of Israel after Moses. The name itself suggests a place of quaking or shaking, possibly indicating a geographical feature prone to seismic activity or a metaphorical description of its rugged terrain.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Gaash is located in the hill country of Ephraim, a region significant in Israel's history. This area was part of the inheritance given to the tribe of Ephraim, one of the leading tribes of Israel. The hill country was known for its strategic importance and its role in the settlement and defense of the Israelite tribes. The burial of Joshua at Gaash underscores its importance as a place of honor and remembrance for the Israelites.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1607.htm">gaash</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a mountain in Ephraim<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Gaash (4).<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">גַּ֫עַשׁ</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">הַרגָּֿ֑עַשׁ</font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/24-30.htm">Joshua 24:30</a>;
