Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew proper noun אֲרָב (Arab) as it is a specific geographical name unique to the Hebrew text. However, the concept of regions or towns in biblical texts can be broadly related to Greek terms for places or regions, though not directly equivalent. Usage: The term "Arab" is used in the context of a geographical location in the Old Testament. It is specifically mentioned as a town in the territory of Judah. Context: • Arab is identified as a town located in the southern part of the tribal allotment of Judah. It is mentioned in the context of the cities of Judah in the Book of Joshua. The town is listed among the cities in the hill country, indicating its geographical setting within the region. • Biblical Reference: The primary reference to Arab is found in Joshua 15:52, where it is listed among the towns in the hill country of Judah: "Arab, Dumah, Eshan." • The name "Arab" is likely derived from the root עָרַב, which can imply a connection to the evening or darkness, possibly indicating a characteristic of the location or its surroundings. • The historical and archaeological details about Arab are limited, and it is primarily known through its biblical mention. The exact location of Arab is not definitively identified in modern times, but it is understood to be part of the ancient landscape of Judah.
