Also 2Ch_35:22; Gen_11:2; Neh_6:2; Dan_3:1. Hac Ciccar, the region round about the Jordan valley (Gen_13:10; Gen_19:17; Gen_19:25-29). Ham Mishor (Deu_3:10; Deu_4:43), the smooth (from yaashar, "straight") downs of Moab stretching from Jordan E. of Jericho into the Arabian desert, contrasting with the rugged country W. of Jordan and with the higher lands of Bashan and Argob.

Ha shephelah, the undulating, rolling, "low hills" between the mountainous part of Judah and the coast plain of the Mediterranean (Deu_1:7, "the vale"; 2Ch_28:18, "the low country"); Seville in Spain is derived from it. 'Elon ought to be translated "oak" or "oaks" (Gen_12:6; Gen_13:18; Jdg_4:11; Jdg_9:6; Jdg_9:37; 1Sa_10:3). Emek the valley of Jezreel (Esdraelon), the eastern part, Megiddo the western part, of the one plain.

Plains. This one term does duty, in the Authorized Version, for no less than eight distinct Hebrew words.
1. Abel. (meadow). This word perhaps answers more nearly to our word, "meadow" than any other. It occurs in the names of Abel-maim Abel-meholah, Abel-shittim and is rendered "plain" in Jdg_11:33 "plain of vineyards." See Abel, 2.
2. Bik'ah or Bik'a. (to cleave, a valley). Fortunately, we are able to identify the most remarkable of the bik'ahs of the Bible, and thus, to ascertain the force of the term. The great plain or valley of Coele-Syria, the "hollow land" of the Greeks, which separates the two ranges of Lebanon and Anti-Lebanon, is the most remarkable of them all. Out of Palestine, we find denoted by the word, bik'ah, the "plain of the land of Shiner," Gen_11:2, the "plain of Mesopotamia," Eze_3:22-23; Eze_8:4; Eze_37:1-2, and the "plain in the province of Dura." Dan_3:1.
3. Ha arabah. (dry region). The peculiar name of the valley of the Jordan.
4. Hak kikkar. (ciccar), (to move in a circle, as a coin or a loaf). The plain around Jericho. Gen 13:10).
5. Ham mishor. (oven place, plain). In Deu_3:10, it refers to the region now called El Belka, the high level table-lands, (of Moab), east of the Dead Sea.
6. Ha shefelah. (a low plain). The invariable designation of the depressed, flat or gently-undulating region which intervened between the highlands of Judah and the Mediterranean, and was commonly in possession of the Philistines.
7. Elon. (oak, or grove of oaks). Our translators have uniformly rendered this word "plain;" but this is not the verdict of the majority or the most trustworthy of the ancient versions. They regard the word as meaning an "oak" or "grove of oaks", a rendering supported by nearly all the commentators and lexicographers of the present day. The passages in which the word occurs erroneously translated "plain" are as follows: plain [oak or grove] of Moreh, Gen_12:6; Gen_11:30, plain [oak grove] of Mamre, Gen_13:18; Gen_14:13; Gen_18:1, plain [grove of the wanderers] of Zaanaim, "wanders", Jdg_4:11, plain [oak of the covenant, or monumental oak] of the pillar, Jdg_9:6, plain [grove] of Meonenim, "magicians", Jdg_9:37, plain [oak or grove] of Tabor, 1Sa_10:5.
8. Emek. (valley). As applied to the Plain of Esdraelon and other valleys or plains, as Achor, Ajalon, Baca, Berachah, Bethrehob, Elah, Gibeon, Hebron, Jehoshaphat, Keziz, Rephaim, Shaveh, Siddim, and Succoth, besides the valley of "decision" in Joe_3:14.
