Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Masrekah, as it is a specific proper noun referring to a location in the Hebrew Bible. Greek translations of the Old Testament, such as the Septuagint, may transliterate the name, but it does not have a distinct Greek equivalent.

Usage: Masrekah is mentioned in the context of the Edomite kings, specifically as the hometown of Samlah, one of the kings of Edom. It appears in the genealogical and historical records of Edom.

Context: Masrekah is noted in the Bible as a city in the land of Edom. It is mentioned in Genesis 36:36 and 1 Chronicles 1:47, where it is identified as the city from which Samlah, one of the kings of Edom, hailed. The name Masrekah suggests a region known for its vineyards, indicating a fertile area suitable for agriculture, particularly viticulture. The historical context places Masrekah within the broader narrative of the Edomite kings, who ruled before any king reigned over the Israelites. The mention of Masrekah in these genealogical records highlights the interconnectedness of the Edomite and Israelite histories, as well as the significance of Edom as a neighboring nation to Israel.
