Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb יָרַשׁ (yarash), meaning "to possess" or "to inherit."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2817: κληρονομία (kleronomia) • This Greek term is often used in the New Testament to denote an inheritance, particularly in the context of the spiritual inheritance believers receive through Christ. Usage: The word יְרֻשָּׁה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the inheritance or possession of land, particularly in the context of the Israelites receiving the Promised Land as their heritage. It emphasizes the idea of a divinely ordained possession that is to be maintained and passed on. Context: יְרֻשָּׁה (Yerushah) is a significant term in the Hebrew Scriptures, often associated with the covenantal promise of land to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. This concept of inheritance is central to the identity and faith of the Israelite people, as it represents both a physical and spiritual legacy. The term is used in various contexts, including legal inheritance rights, the division of land among the tribes of Israel, and the broader theological theme of God's promises to His people. In the Berean Standard Bible, יְרֻשָּׁה is translated in passages that highlight the fulfillment of God's promises and the responsibilities that come with receiving such a divine gift. For example, in Deuteronomy 2:31, the Lord says, "See, I have begun to deliver Sihon and his land over to you. Begin to conquer and possess it." This reflects the active role the Israelites were to take in claiming their inheritance.
