Strong's Lexicon yeriah: Curtain, Covering Original Word: יְרִיעָה Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרַע (yarah), meaning "to tremble" or "to be afraid," though in this context, it is more likely related to the concept of spreading or stretching out. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "yeriah," the concept of a curtain or veil is captured in the Greek word καταπέτασμα (katapetasma), Strong's Greek #2665, which refers to the veil in the Temple. Usage: The term "yeriah" primarily refers to a curtain or a large piece of fabric used as a covering. In the context of the Bible, it is most often associated with the curtains of the Tabernacle, which were intricately designed and served both functional and symbolic purposes. These curtains were essential components of the Tabernacle, providing separation and sanctity within the sacred space. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the Tabernacle was the portable dwelling place for the Divine Presence during the Israelites' journey through the wilderness. The curtains, or "yeriah," were made of fine linen and richly embroidered with cherubim, signifying the holiness and beauty of God's dwelling. The craftsmanship of these curtains was a testament to the Israelites' devotion and obedience to God's detailed instructions given to Moses on Mount Sinai.
