Berean Strong's Lexicon yaroq: Green Original Word: יָרֹק Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to be green Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "yaroq," the concept of green as life and vitality can be seen in Greek words like "χλωρός" (chloros - Strong's G5515), which also means green or pale green, often used in the context of vegetation. Usage: The Hebrew word "yaroq" primarily denotes the color green. It is used in the Bible to describe vegetation, such as grass or leaves, and sometimes to refer to the appearance of certain objects or conditions that are green in color. The term conveys the idea of life, growth, and fertility, as green is often associated with living plants and the vitality of nature. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the color green was closely associated with life and prosperity due to its connection with vegetation and agriculture. The agrarian society of the Israelites relied heavily on the growth of crops and the fertility of the land, making green a symbol of blessing and abundance. The presence of green pastures and lush landscapes was often seen as a sign of God's provision and favor.
