The Key Word — שָׁמֵן, sha.Mengenerated
The word שָׁמֵן (sha.Men) is an adjective meaning rich or fat, often used to describe abundance and fertility. It conveys a sense of prosperity, whether in terms of land or resources. The parsing as an adjective indicates that it describes the quality of the pasture found.
In this verse, it highlights the richness of the pasture, suggesting that it is not only suitable for grazing but also abundant in resources, which is essential for the survival and prosperity of the inhabitants.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, which uses the word rich to describe the pasture. The KJV and ASV also use good in their translations, maintaining the positive connotation of the land's quality.
Where translations differ is in the rendering of רַחֲבַ֣ת: the ASV, KJV, and others use wide, while the YLT and NETB choose broad. This indicates a slight variation in emphasis on the land's spaciousness.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is וַֽיִּמְצְא֤וּ (vai.yim.tze.'U), meaning 'and they found', which governs the description of the pasture and the state of the land. The structure emphasizes the discovery of the pasture as the central action.
The sentence includes a noun phrase for the object, מִרְעֶה֙ (mir.'Eh), followed by adjective phrases that describe its qualities, and concludes with a clause explaining the previous inhabitants. This arrangement underscores the significance of the discovery.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
The Septuagint translates מִרְעֶה as νομὰς (nomas), which refers to pastures or grazing lands, indicating a direct correspondence in meaning. This choice reflects the same agricultural context as the Hebrew.
For שָׁמֵן, the LXX uses πίονας (pionas), which also conveys richness or fertility, aligning with the Hebrew's emphasis on abundance.

ov:
(1) In Anglo-Saxon, had the meaning "from," "away from" (as the strengthened form "off" has still), and was not used for genitive or possessive relations, these being expressed by special case-forms. In the Norman period, however, "of" was taken to represent the French de (a use well developed by the time of Chaucer), and in the Elizabethan period both senses of "of" were in common use. But after about 1600 the later force of the word became predominant, and in the earlier sense (which is now practically obsolete) it was replaced by other prepositions. In consequence the King James Version (and in some cases the Revised Version (British and American)) contains many uses of "of" that are no longer familiar--most of them, to be sure, causing no difficulty, but there still being a few responsible for real obscurities.

pes (shalom; eirene):
1. In the Old Testament:
Is a condition of freedom from disturbance, whether outwardly, as of a nation from war or enemies, or inwardly, within the soul. The Hebrew word is shalom (both adjective and substantive), meaning, primarily, "soundness," "health," but coming also to signify "prosperity," well-being in general, all good in relation to both man and God. In early times, to a people harassed by foes, peace was the primary blessing. In Ps 122:7, we have "peace" and "prosperity," and in 35:27; 73:3, shalom is translated "prosperity." In 2Sa 11:7 the King James Version, David asked of Uriah "how Joab did" (margin "of the peace of Joab"), "and how the people did (the Revised Version (British and American) "fared," literally, "of the peace of the people"), and…

Ham
Warm, hot, and hence the south; also an Egyptian word meaning “black”, the youngest son of Noah (Gen. 5:32; comp. 9:22,24). The curse pronounced by Noah against Ham, properly against Canaan his fourth son, was accomplished when the Jews subsequently exterminated the Canaanites.
One of the most important facts recorded in Gen. 10 is the foundation of the earliest monarchy in Babylonia by Nimrod the grandson of Ham (6, 8, 10). The primitive Babylonian empire was thus Hamitic, and of a cognate race with the primitive inhabitants of Arabia and of Ethiopia. (See ACCAD.)
The race of Ham were the most energetic of all the descendants of Noah in the early times of the post-diluvian world.
(hot; sunburnt). The name of one of the three sons of Noah, apparently the second in age. (B.C. 2448.) Of the history of Ham nothing is related except his irreverence to his father and the curse which that patriarch pronounced. The sons of Ham are stated, to have been "Cush and Mizraim and Phut and Canaan." (Genesis 10:6) comp. 1Chr 1:8 Egypt is recognized as the "land of Ham" in the Bible. (Psalms 78:51; 105:23; 106:22) The other settlements of the sons of Ham are discussed under their respective names. The three most illustrious Hamite nations--the Cushites, the Phoenicians and the Egyptians--were greatly mixed with foreign peoples.
