Usage: Paran is a desert region mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, often associated with the wilderness experiences of the Israelites. It is depicted as a place of desolation but also of divine encounters and guidance. Cultural and Historical Background: The Wilderness of Paran is traditionally located in the northeastern part of the Sinai Peninsula, extending into the southern region of modern-day Israel and Jordan. It served as a significant location during the Israelites' 40-year journey in the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt. Paran is also associated with the nomadic lifestyle of the ancient Near Eastern peoples, including the Ishmaelites, who are said to have settled there.
