Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root נַעַר (na'ar), meaning "to shake" or "to growl," often associated with youth or vigor. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun נַעֲרָה (Naarah) in the Strong's Greek concordance, as it is a specific Hebrew name. However, the concept of a "maiden" or "young woman" can be related to Greek terms such as παρθένος (parthenos, Strong's Greek 3933), which means "virgin" or "young woman." Usage: The term נַעֲרָה appears in the context of genealogies and geographical references within the Hebrew Bible. It is used to denote a person or place, specifically a town or region. Context: Naarah is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Ephraim. In 1 Chronicles 4:5-6, Naarah is listed as one of the wives of Ashhur, the father of Tekoa. The passage reads: "Ashhur, the father of Tekoa, had two wives, Helah and Naarah." This indicates her role within the familial lineage of the tribe of Judah. Additionally, Naarah is also identified as a location in the territory of Ephraim, as seen in Joshua 16:7, which describes the borders of Ephraim's inheritance: "It went down from Janoah to Ataroth and Naarah, touched Jericho, and came out at the Jordan." This suggests that Naarah was a town or region within the boundaries of Ephraim's allotment, highlighting its geographical significance in the tribal divisions of Israel.
