Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to ascend.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew יָעֵל in the Strong's Concordance, as the specific term for ibex does not appear in the Greek New Testament. However, the general concept of wild goats or similar animals may be referenced in broader terms related to wildlife or animals in Greek texts. Usage: The term יָעֵל is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the ibex, a wild goat species native to the mountainous regions of the Middle East. Context: The Hebrew word יָעֵל (ya'el) appears in the context of describing the natural fauna of the ancient Near East, specifically in the mountainous and rugged terrains where these animals are typically found. The ibex is noted for its sure-footedness and ability to climb steep, rocky surfaces, which is emblematic of its name derived from a root meaning "to ascend." In the Bible, the ibex is mentioned in passages that highlight the diversity of wildlife and the majesty of God's creation. For instance, in 1 Samuel 24:2, the wilderness of En Gedi is described as a habitat for the ibex, illustrating the region's rugged beauty and the natural environment where David sought refuge from King Saul. The ibex serves as a symbol of resilience and adaptability, thriving in harsh and challenging landscapes.
