Definition: "Okanagan" in the Bible likely refers to a specific type of land found between the Great Salt Lake and the mouth of the Willamette River on the Oregon Trail. This region was once part of the ancient kingdom of the Confederacy, specifically where the "Isabella Province" now stands. It's believed to have been occupied by various Native American tribes who shared this area with their former homes. The word 'Okanagan' as it is used in the Bible is likely a reference to the land itself, and not its historical significance or specific location within Oregon. The biblical term 'okanagan' (also known as 'good pasture') is commonly used to describe the rich, fertile lands that surrounded Israel during their migration from Egypt. The Israelites were eventually able to settle in this fertile region, which was known for its abundance of water and food.
