'Country' in the Bible

When Moses sent them to investigate the land of Canaan, he told them, "Go up through the Negev, and then go up into the hill country

The Amalekites live in the land of the Negev; the Hittites, Jebusites, and Amorites live in the hill country; and the Canaanites live by the sea and along the banks of the Jordan."

And early in the morning they went up to the crest of the hill country, saying, "Here we are, and we will go up to the place that the Lord commanded, for we have sinned."

So the Amalekites and the Canaanites who lived in that hill country swooped down and attacked them as far as Hormah.

So when we cried to the Lord, he heard our voice and sent a messenger, and has brought us up out of Egypt. Now we are here in Kadesh, a town on the edge of your country.

Please let us pass through your country. We will not pass through the fields or through the vineyards, nor will we drink water from any well. We will go by the King's Highway; we will not turn to the right or the left until we have passed through your region.'"

and from Bamoth to the valley that is in the country of Moab, near the top of Pisgah, which overlooks the wilderness.
