The phrase "land a Goshen" originated from the Bible, specifically in the Book of Genesis. In the story, the Israelites settled in the land of Goshen in Egypt during the time of Joseph. The land of Goshen was described as a fertile region suitable for grazing livestock, which provided prosperity and abundance for the Israelites. Over time, the phrase "land a Goshen" has come to mean finding a place of prosperity, abundance, or refuge.

Gosh was used as a short term for Goshen back then. Over time it slowly went from short term for Goshen, to a so-called polite way to say God in vain, which wasn't intentionally the true meaning.

"Land de Goshen" is an expression derived from a biblical reference, specifically from the Book of Genesis, where the land of Goshen was a fertile area in Egypt where the Israelites settled during the famine. In modern usage, the phrase is often used to express surprise, shock, or exasperation, similar to saying "Goodness gracious!" or "Heavens!" It reflects a sense of incredulity or emphasis in response to a situation.
Putting in context that we are in a community of people that believe in God and God is very "real," a God of spirit and power, yet at the same time a kind and gentle God caring for his people with compassion, using all circumstances and distresses of their lives to grow an eternal seed of faith. What can the "Land of Goshen" mean: (1.) The best of Pharos land (2.) A place of refuge where Pharos Army was not allowed to enter (3.) A land that was blessed by God (4.) A land protected by God (5.) A place of peace.
The land of Goshen is identified as the area inhabited by the Israelites in Egypt (for example Exodus 8:22 and 9:26), and was not portrayed as a city. Goshen has never been localised with certainty but most scholars assume that it was in the eastern Nile Delta. However, the word Goshen does not occur in any Egyptian texts and efforts to derive it from the Egyptian language are unconvincing. It is likely that the biblical word 'Goshen' came from outside Egypt. There is no particular biblical event that involves Moses in Goshen.
