Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1085 (γένος, genos): While not a direct translation, this Greek term refers to a kind or race, often used in the New Testament to denote a group or category, which can imply an arrangement or order similar to a "row."
• G3735 (ὄρος, oros): This Greek term means "mountain" or "hill," and while it does not directly translate to "row" or "wall," it shares the concept of a significant, structured natural formation, akin to the orderly arrangement implied by "טוּר."

In summary, the Hebrew word "טוּר" (Tur) captures the essence of order and structure, whether in the form of a physical wall or a metaphorical boundary, reflecting the ancient emphasis on organization and protection.

Usage: The word "טוּר" appears in the Hebrew Bible to refer to physical structures or arrangements, such as rows of stones or bricks in a wall. It is used in contexts that emphasize order and alignment.

Context: The Hebrew term "טוּר" (Tur) is utilized in the Old Testament to describe a structured arrangement, often in the context of building or organizing. This term is found in passages that discuss the construction of walls or the arrangement of stones, highlighting the importance of order and precision in ancient architectural practices. The concept of a "row" or "wall" in biblical times was not only a physical description but also carried symbolic meanings of strength, protection, and division. In the context of biblical narratives, walls often represented the fortifications of cities, the boundaries of sacred spaces, or the divisions between different areas or groups. The use of "טוּר" underscores the significance of structure and order in both physical and metaphorical senses within the biblical text.
