Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root חֶרֶס (cheres), meaning "sun" or "clay." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew word חֶרֶס (Cheres) as it is a specific proper noun referring to a geographical location unique to the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The term "Cheres" is used in the context of a geographical location, specifically a mountain, within the biblical narrative. Context: Cheres is mentioned as a mountain in the biblical region of Palestine. The name "Cheres" is derived from the Hebrew word for "sun" or "clay," suggesting a possible connection to the mountain's appearance or its significance in the local culture. In the biblical context, mountains often hold symbolic meaning, representing strength, permanence, or a place of divine encounter. The specific mention of Cheres as a mountain highlights its geographical and possibly spiritual significance in the narrative of the Israelites. The mountain of Cheres is noted in the context of the tribal allotments in the Book of Judges, where it is associated with the territory of the tribe of Naphtali. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) provides the following reference: "Naphtali did not drive out the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh or the inhabitants of Beth-anath, but the Naphtalites lived among the Canaanite inhabitants of the land, and the inhabitants of Beth-shemesh and Beth-anath became forced labor for them" (Judges 1:33). This passage indicates the historical and cultural interactions between the Israelites and the existing Canaanite populations, with Cheres being part of the broader landscape of these interactions.
