Strong's Lexicon yerekah: Flank, side, recesses, remotest parts Original Word: יְרֵכָה Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרֵךְ (yarek), meaning "thigh" or "side." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "yerekah," the concept of remote or hidden parts can be related to Greek terms like "πέρας" (peras, meaning "end" or "limit") or "ἄκρον" (akron, meaning "extremity" or "highest point"). Usage: The Hebrew word "yerekah" is used to describe the flank or side of something, often referring to the remotest or innermost parts. It can denote the farthest reaches or hidden areas, whether in a geographical, physical, or metaphorical sense. In the context of the Bible, it is often used to describe the extremities or hidden parts of a land or structure. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of "yerekah" would have been understood in terms of geography and architecture. The term could refer to the farthest parts of a territory or the innermost parts of a building or tent. This reflects a worldview that valued both the central and peripheral areas, recognizing the importance of boundaries and hidden spaces.
