Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G2479 (ischus): While not a direct translation, this Greek term refers to strength or might, which can metaphorically relate to the power of speech or voice emanating from the throat.
G2995 (larnyx): This Greek word directly corresponds to the throat or larynx, the part of the body involved in producing sound and speech.
G5137 (trachelos): This term refers to the neck or throat, similar to "garon," and is used in contexts involving the physical throat or metaphorically to describe vulnerability or exposure.

In summary, "garon" is a multifaceted term in the Hebrew Bible, representing both the physical throat and its metaphorical implications in speech, desire, and spiritual expression.

Usage: The word "garon" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the physical throat. It is often employed metaphorically to describe the voice or speech, as well as the desires or appetites that are expressed through the throat.

Context: • The Hebrew word "garon" appears in several contexts within the Old Testament, often highlighting the throat's role in speech and consumption. For instance, in Isaiah 58:1, the prophet is instructed to "Cry aloud, do not hold back; raise your voice like a trumpet," where the voice emanates from the throat, symbolizing the proclamation of truth and justice.
• In Psalm 115:7, the idols are described as having "throats, but cannot make a sound," emphasizing the lifelessness and impotence of idols compared to the living God who speaks and acts.
• The throat is also associated with desires and appetites, as seen in Proverbs 23:2, where it advises putting a knife to one's throat if given to gluttony, illustrating the need for self-control over one's appetites.
• The metaphorical use of "garon" underscores the connection between physical needs and spiritual or moral states, reflecting the biblical theme of the heart's inclinations being expressed through speech and consumption.
