This term is used in the New Testament to describe various rivers, including the Jordan River and the river of life in the book of Revelation (Revelation 22:1, BSB: "Then the angel showed me a river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb."). Usage: The term יְאֹר (ye'or) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to natural and man-made watercourses, including rivers and canals. It is most commonly associated with the Nile River in Egypt, but it can also refer to other significant rivers such as the Tigris. Context: יְאֹר (ye'or) is a term that appears frequently in the Hebrew Scriptures, often in the context of Egypt and its prominent river, the Nile. The Nile was central to Egyptian life and culture, serving as a source of sustenance, transportation, and irrigation. In the biblical narrative, the Nile is notably mentioned in the account of Moses and the plagues of Egypt, where the river is turned to blood as a sign of God's power (Exodus 7:17, BSB: "This is what the LORD says: 'By this you will know that I am the LORD: With the staff that is in my hand I will strike the water of the Nile, and it will be changed into blood.'").
