Baca, a valley name (possibly balsam trees, or weeping)
Psalm 84:6 speaks of those who pass through 'the valley of Baca' making it a place of springs. The name likely relates to balsam trees (which 'weep' resin) found in arid valleys, though some interpret it as 'valley of weeping' from בָּכָה (to weep). The psalm transforms a dry, difficult valley into a place of blessing through God's presence. Whether literal location or symbolic landscape, Baca represents barren places made fruitful by faith.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — Psalm 84:6's 'valley of Baca' (עֵמֶק הַבָּכָא) probably refers to balsam trees that exude resin like tears, though the weeping/mourning sense also resonates. Spanish 'el Baca,' English 'Baka' preserve the name. The balsam trees appear in 2 Samuel 5:23-24 (בְּכָאִים), supporting this identification. The psalmist's imagery—pilgrims passing through the dry balsam-valley finding it becomes a place of springs—beautifully pictures how God's presence transforms desolation into blessing. 1×
