Strong's Lexicon Yericho or Yerecho or Yerichoh: Jericho Original Word: יְרִיחוֹ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָרַח (yarach), meaning "moon," possibly indicating a connection to lunar worship or the moon's significance in ancient times. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2410 Ἰεριχώ (Iericho) - The Greek transliteration of Jericho, used in the New Testament. Usage: Jericho is a significant city in the Bible, often referred to as the "City of Palms" due to its lush palm trees and fertile surroundings. It is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world and is frequently mentioned in the context of Israel's conquest of Canaan. Cultural and Historical Background: Jericho is located near the Jordan River in the Jordan Valley. It was a fortified city with strong walls, making it a strategic military target. The city's destruction by the Israelites under Joshua's leadership is one of the most famous events in the Old Testament, symbolizing God's power and faithfulness to His promises. Archaeological evidence supports Jericho's ancient habitation and its significance in trade and agriculture.
