Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּרַח (barach), meaning "to flee" or "to go through."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew proper noun בָּרִיחַ (Bariach), as it is a specific name and not a common noun or concept that would have a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the thematic concept of fleeing or escaping can be related to Greek terms such as φεύγω (pheugō), meaning "to flee" or "to escape," which is Strong's Greek Number 5343.

Usage: The term בָּרִיחַ (Bariach) is used in the context of a proper name within the Hebrew Bible. It is not frequently encountered and is specific to certain genealogical or narrative contexts.

Context: • Bariach is a proper noun found in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in genealogical records or narrative passages. The name is derived from the root בָּרַח (barach), which conveys the idea of fleeing or escaping. This etymological background suggests that the name Bariach may have been given to someone who was known for fleeing or escaping from danger or captivity.
• The use of Bariach in the biblical text is limited, and it does not appear in prominent stories or accounts. Instead, it is more likely to be found in lists of names or genealogies, where it serves to identify a specific individual or lineage.
• The name Bariach reflects the broader biblical theme of movement and escape, which is a recurring motif in the narratives of the Hebrew Bible. This theme is often associated with divine intervention, protection, or judgment, as seen in the stories of the Exodus or the journeys of the patriarchs.
• In the context of biblical names, Bariach may also carry symbolic significance, representing the idea of liberation or the pursuit of freedom, which are central to the biblical narrative.
