Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root מֶלַח (melach), meaning "salt."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for מְלֵחָה, the concept of salt and desolation can be related to Greek terms that describe barrenness or wastelands. However, specific Strong's Greek entries that correspond directly to the Hebrew concept of a "salt land" are not readily available. The Greek word for salt, ἅλας (halas), Strong's Greek Number 217, may be considered in contexts where salt is used metaphorically or literally. Usage: The word מְלֵחָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe areas that are barren or desolate, often due to the presence of salt, which renders the land infertile. It is used metaphorically to depict desolation or judgment. Context: • The term מְלֵחָה appears in the context of describing desolate and uninhabitable regions, often associated with divine judgment or natural barrenness. In the Berean Standard Bible, it is used in passages that highlight the transformation of fertile land into a wasteland due to disobedience or as a symbol of desolation.
