Region of ancient Palestine (6)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
gilead
'region of ancient palestine' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is the entire clue.
(Other definitions for gilead that I've seen before include "place of balm" , "mountainous region" , "Balm of - is tree resin" , "Biblical region" , "no balmy place" .)
