Gaash; a mountain in Ephraim near Joshua's burial site, with associated ravines.
A place name identifying a mountain (har Gaash) in the hill country of Ephraim, located south of Timnath-serah where Joshua was buried (Josh 24:30; Judg 2:9). The name possibly derives from a root meaning 'to shake' or 'to quake,' fitting for a rugged highland. Second Samuel 23:30 and 1 Chronicles 11:32 reference the 'wadis of Gaash' (nahale Gaash), ravines near the mountain associated with Hiddai/Hurai, one of David's mighty warriors. All major translations preserve the name as 'Gaash' with minimal variation.

1. sense 1 — Gaash — a mountain in the territory of Ephraim, south of Timnath-serah, notable as the landmark near Joshua's burial (Josh 24:30; Judg 2:9). Its ravines (nahale Gaash) appear in the lists of David's warriors (2 Sam 23:30; 1 Chr 11:32). The name may relate to the root g-ʿ-sh ('to shake'), suggesting a quaking or rugged peak. Transliterations across languages (eng/spa/fra/deu 'Gaash') are remarkably consistent. 4×
