Strong's Lexicon oreinos: Mountainous, hilly Original Word: ὀρεινός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word ὄρος (oros), meaning "mountain." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with mountainous regions is הַר (har), Strong's Hebrew #2022, which also means "mountain" or "hill." Usage: The term "oreinos" is used to describe regions that are characterized by mountains or hills. It conveys the idea of a landscape that is elevated and rugged, often implying a sense of remoteness or difficulty in access. In the New Testament, it is used to describe geographical areas that are distinct from plains or valleys. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, mountainous regions were often seen as places of refuge and isolation. They were less accessible than the fertile plains and were sometimes associated with danger or the unknown. However, mountains also held spiritual significance, as they were often considered places where one could encounter the divine. In Jewish tradition, mountains were sites of significant events, such as the giving of the Law on Mount Sinai.
