Goshen

/ˈɡoʊʃən/ noun

Definition

A place of plenty or abundance; a region of relative comfort or prosperity (often used biblically to refer to the rich delta region in ancient Egypt).

Etymology

From the biblical place name Goshen, a fertile region in ancient Egypt where the Israelites lived, whose name may derive from Egyptian origins but is primarily known through Hebrew religious texts.

Kelly Says

In the Bible, Goshen was where the Israelites thrived while the rest of Egypt suffered plagues—so the word became a poetic way to describe any place where you're safe and everything's abundant while others struggle.
