Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root עוּר (ur), meaning "to be exposed" or "to be bare."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew proper noun עָר (Ar), as it is a specific geographical name unique to the Hebrew text. However, geographical names in the Hebrew Bible often do not have direct Greek equivalents unless they are mentioned in the Septuagint or the New Testament, which is not the case for Ar. Usage: The term "Ar" is used in the context of a geographical location, specifically a city in the region of Moab. It appears in the Hebrew Bible as a place of significance during the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land. Context: Ar is mentioned in the context of the Israelites' wilderness journey as they approached the land of Moab. In the Book of Numbers, Ar is described as a city on the border of Moab. The city is significant as it marks a geographical boundary and is part of the narrative concerning the Israelites' interactions with the Moabites. In Numbers 21:15, the "Ar of Moab" is referenced in a poetic passage describing the boundaries of Moab. The city is also mentioned in Deuteronomy 2:9, where God instructs the Israelites not to harass Moab or provoke them to war, as He has given Ar to the descendants of Lot as a possession. This highlights the city's importance as part of the Moabite territory and its recognition as a divinely allotted inheritance.
