Brown-Driver-Briggs יַעֲרֵי אֹרְגִים proper name, masculine father of Elhanan 2 Samuel 21:19 (= יָעִו֯ר 1 Chronicles 20:5); ׳א probably scribal error anticipating ׳א in following line (We Dr), and יַעֲרֵי error for יָעִיר (We) q. v. below עור. Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from יַעַר (ya'ar, meaning "forest" or "wood") and אֹרֵג (oreg, meaning "weaver").Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Jaare-Oregim, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: This name appears in the context of a genealogical reference in the Old Testament. Context: Jaare-Oregim is mentioned in 2 Samuel 21:19, where it is noted in the context of a battle with the Philistines. The verse reads: "Once again there was a battle with the Philistines at Gob, and Elhanan son of Jaare-Oregim the Bethlehemite struck down Goliath the Gittite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver’s beam." (BSB). The name Jaare-Oregim is associated with Elhanan, a warrior from Bethlehem. There is some textual variation and debate regarding this passage, as 1 Chronicles 20:5 attributes the slaying of Goliath to Elhanan son of Jair. This has led to discussions about potential scribal errors or different traditions in the transmission of the text. The name itself, "forests of weavers," may suggest a connection to a place or a family known for weaving, though the exact significance remains uncertain.
