Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root עַי (H5857), meaning "ruins" or "heaps."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew term עִיִּים (Ijim), 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 use different terms to convey the concept of wilderness or desolation, but these would not be direct equivalents of the proper noun Ijim. Usage: The term "Ijim" is used in the context of a geographical location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with the wilderness or desert areas, often indicating a place of desolation or ruin. Context: Ijim is a location mentioned in the Old Testament, specifically in the context of the wilderness regions. The name itself suggests a place of desolation, as it is derived from the Hebrew root meaning "ruins" or "heaps." This term is used to describe a site that is likely barren or uninhabited, fitting the broader biblical theme of wilderness as a place of testing, isolation, or divine encounter. The specific references to Ijim in the biblical text highlight its role as a geographical marker within the narrative, often serving as a boundary or point of reference for the surrounding regions. The mention of Ijim underscores the stark and rugged nature of the landscape, which is a recurring motif in the biblical portrayal of the wilderness.
