Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרַע (yarah), which means "to tremble" or "to be afraid," though the connection to the root is not entirely clear in the context of its usage as a noun.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of יְרִיעָה in the Septuagint is often rendered as καταπέτασμα (katapetasma), which is Strong's Greek Number G2665. However, for a more direct correlation in terms of general fabric or cloth, the Greek word ἱμάτιον (himation), Strong's Greek Number G2440, can be considered, though it typically refers to a garment or outer cloak rather than a curtain. The use of these terms in the New Testament, particularly in the context of the Temple veil, draws a theological connection between the Old Testament Tabernacle and the New Testament understanding of access to God through Christ.

Usage: The term יְרִיעָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the curtains or hangings of the Tabernacle, which were made of fine linen and other materials. These hangings were integral to the structure and function of the Tabernacle, serving both practical and symbolic purposes.

Context: יְרִיעָה (Yeri'ah) appears frequently in the context of the Tabernacle's construction, as detailed in the book of Exodus. The hangings were crafted from fine linen, blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and were embroidered with cherubim (Exodus 26:1). These curtains formed the walls of the Tabernacle, creating a sacred space for worship and the presence of God. The hangings were also used to cover the Tabernacle and its furnishings during transport (Numbers 4:25). The meticulous detail in the description of the hangings underscores their importance in the religious life of ancient Israel, symbolizing purity, separation, and the divine presence. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) translates יְרִיעָה as "curtain" or "hanging," maintaining the traditional understanding of its function and significance.
