Supported# Eshan: A Marginal Place Name in Biblical Geography Based on the lexical data provided, Eshan (H0824) is a proper noun—specifically a place name—that appears only once in the Hebrew Bible. Its single occurrence limits what can be determined about its significance or usage patterns within biblical literature. The term functions as a geographical designation, though the lexicon entry provides no additional contextual information about its location or characteristics. The extreme rarity of this toponym in the biblical corpus suggests it was either a minor settlement, a location of limited narrative importance, or possibly a site whose name was preserved in only one textual reference. Without additional lexical data regarding associated descriptions, historical context, or theological significance, Eshan remains one of the Bible's peripheral place names—documented but not extensively developed in the surviving biblical record.
