Strong's Lexicon Abarim: Abarim Original Word: עֲבָרִים Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָבַר (avar), meaning "to pass over" or "to cross." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Abarim, as it is a specific Hebrew geographical term. However, the concept of crossing or transition can be related to Greek terms like διαβαίνω (diabaino - G1224), meaning "to cross over." Usage: Abarim refers to a mountain range or region located east of the Jordan River. It is often associated with the final journey of the Israelites before entering the Promised Land. The name suggests a place of crossing or transition, fitting its role as a boundary before entering Canaan. Cultural and Historical Background: The Abarim mountains hold significant historical and theological importance in the biblical narrative. They are mentioned in the context of the Israelites' wilderness wanderings and are notably the location where Moses viewed the Promised Land before his death. The range includes Mount Nebo, from which Moses saw the land of Canaan (Deuteronomy 32:49-50).
