river
A river or large stream; in biblical Aramaic, נְהַר (nᵉhar) typically refers to a major river or flowing body of water, most often applied to significant regional rivers such as the Euphrates. The term appears in narrative and legal contexts denoting physical rivers marking boundaries, serving as means of transportation, or as elements in visions and metaphorical speech. While predominantly a geographic and topographic term, its referent may also carry symbolic connotations depending on context (e.g., abundance, fertility, or boundary).
