Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the proper noun Oreb, as it is a specific name found in the Hebrew Scriptures. However, the Greek Septuagint may use transliterations or equivalent terms to refer to the same individual in its translation of the Hebrew text.

Usage: The name Oreb appears in the context of the narrative of Gideon's victory over the Midianites. It is used to identify one of the two Midianite leaders captured and killed by the Israelites.

Context: Oreb is a significant figure in the biblical account of Gideon's battle against the Midianites, as recorded in the Book of Judges. Oreb, along with another prince named Zeeb, led the Midianite forces that oppressed Israel. In Judges 7:25, the Israelites, under Gideon's leadership, captured and killed Oreb at a location that subsequently became known as "the rock of Oreb." This event marked a turning point in the battle, leading to the eventual defeat of the Midianites. The narrative highlights the divine intervention and deliverance of Israel through Gideon's leadership. The account of Oreb's defeat is also mentioned in Isaiah 10:26, where it serves as a historical reference to God's past deliverance of His people.
