Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרָה (yarah), meaning "to teach" or "to instruct."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Jorah, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and does not appear in the Greek New Testament. Usage: The name Jorah appears in the context of the post-exilic period, specifically in the lists of those who returned from the Babylonian exile. Context: Jorah is mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the leaders of a family that returned from the Babylonian exile with Zerubbabel. The name appears in the book of Ezra, where it is listed among those who returned to Jerusalem and Judah. In Ezra 2:18, the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) states: "The descendants of Jorah, 112." This indicates that Jorah was the head of a family or clan that numbered 112 individuals. The context suggests that Jorah's family was part of the larger group of Israelites who were committed to rebuilding the temple and restoring the community in Jerusalem after the exile. The name is also found in Nehemiah 7:24, where the same family is listed, confirming their participation in the return and restoration efforts.
