Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root probably meaning to thicken with verdure.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G68: ἄγρος (agros) • Refers to a field or countryside, often used in the New Testament to describe rural areas or agricultural land. Usage: The term יַעַר (ya'ar) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a wooded area, which can range from a small thicket to a large forest. It is also used metaphorically to describe honey in the comb, likely due to the dense, interwoven structure of honeycombs resembling a thicket. Context: יַעַר (ya'ar) appears frequently in the Hebrew Bible, often in contexts describing natural landscapes. It is used to depict both literal and metaphorical forests. For instance, in 1 Samuel 14:25, the term is used in the context of honey found in the forest: "And all the people of the land came to a forest, and there was honey on the ground." This illustrates the dual meaning of the word, as it refers to both the forest and the honey found within it.
