It is frequently associated with the Jordan Valley and the region south of the Dead Sea. The word can denote a specific geographical area or be used more generally to describe any desert-like terrain.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, the "arabah" was a significant geographical feature, forming part of the Great Rift Valley. It was a region of both desolation and strategic importance, serving as a natural boundary and a route for trade and travel. The harsh conditions of the "arabah" often symbolized testing and purification, as seen in the Israelites' wilderness wanderings.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/6158.htm">oreb</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>(a kind of tree) perhaps poplar, also a wadi in Moab<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Arabim (1), poplars (1), willows (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II.
