Strong's Lexicon Ayish or Ash: Ayish, Ash Original Word: עַיִשׁ Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be at ease Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Ayish in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew term related to a constellation. Usage: The term "Ayish" or "Ash" refers to a constellation or a group of stars. In the context of the Bible, it is often associated with the Bear constellation, which includes the Big Dipper. The name suggests a sense of stability and ease, reflecting the fixed nature of the stars in the night sky. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, constellations were significant for navigation, agriculture, and religious symbolism. The stars were often seen as divine or as representations of divine beings. The mention of Ayish in the Bible reflects the Israelites' awareness of the celestial bodies and their integration into the broader cultural understanding of the cosmos.
