Editing Land of Goshen (section)

==Etymology==
Some [[Egyptology|Egyptologists]] have suggested a connection with the name ''gsm'' used in reference to a lake in ''Papyrus Anastasi IV'', as the name appears to have been used as a toponym in the [[Wadi Tumilat|Wādī Ṭumīlāt]].{{sfn|Groll|1998|p=190}}{{sfn|Bietak|2015|p=22}} This name ''gsm'' is considered by some scholars to have been most probably a [[Semitic languages|Semitic]] loanword,{{sfn|Bietak|2015|p=22}} possibly deriving from the Semitic root ''gšm'' "rain, storm".{{sfn|Theis|2020}} [[Donald Redford]], while not disputing the location of Goshen, gives a different origin for the name, deriving it from "Gasmu," the rulers of the [[Bedouin]] [[Qedarites]] who occupied the eastern Delta from the 7th century BCE, but [[John Van Seters]] thinks this unlikely.{{sfn|Van Seters|2001|pp=267-269}} Mark Janzen argues that the lack of references to the Land of Goshen in biblical texts from the 6th century BCE or later makes Redford's proposal unlikely.{{sfn|Janzen|2024|p=342}}
