The reference to Goah is found in the book of Jeremiah, which provides insight into its geographical and historical significance during the prophetic ministry of Jeremiah.<br><br><b>Biblical Reference:</b><br><br>The sole mention of Goah is found in <a href="/jeremiah/31-39.htm">Jeremiah 31:39</a>, which states: "The measuring line will once again stretch out straight to the hill of Gareb and then turn to Goah." . This verse is part of a prophetic passage where God, through the prophet Jeremiah, speaks of the future restoration and expansion of Jerusalem. The context suggests that Goah is a landmark or boundary point in the envisioned expansion of the city.<br><br><b>Geographical Context:</b><br><br>The exact location of Goah is not definitively known, and it is not mentioned elsewhere in the Bible or in other historical records. However, its mention alongside Gareb, another location with uncertain identification, suggests that Goah was a notable point in the topography surrounding Jerusalem. The passage implies that Goah was part of the outer limits of the city during the time of Jeremiah's prophecy.<br><br><b>Historical and Theological Significance:</b><br><br>The mention of Goah in <a href="/jeremiah/31-39.htm">Jeremiah 31:39</a> is part of a larger prophetic vision concerning the restoration of Israel and the renewal of Jerusalem. This prophecy is significant in the context of the Babylonian exile, during which the people of Judah were taken captive, and Jerusalem was destroyed. The promise of restoration and expansion, including the reference to Goah, symbolizes hope and divine faithfulness to the covenant with Israel.<br><br>From a theological perspective, the expansion of Jerusalem to include areas like Goah can be seen as a metaphor for the inclusive and expansive nature of God's kingdom. It reflects the biblical theme of restoration and the ultimate fulfillment of God's promises to His people.<br><br><b>Interpretative Considerations:</b><br><br>While the precise identification of Goah remains uncertain, its inclusion in the prophetic vision underscores the importance of understanding biblical geography in the context of God's redemptive plan. The passage in Jeremiah serves as a reminder of the historical realities faced by the Israelites and the enduring hope found in God's promises.<br><br>In summary, Goah, though only briefly mentioned, plays a role in the prophetic imagery of Jerusalem's future restoration. Its significance lies in its contribution to the broader narrative of hope and renewal found throughout the Scriptures.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div><span class="encheading">GOAH; GOATH</span><p>go'-a, go'-ath (go`ah; the King James Version; Septuagint reads ex eklekton lithon): A place named in describing the boundaries of Jerusalem as restored in the "days to come" (<a href="/jeremiah/31-39.htm">Jeremiah 31:39</a>).
