Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרַר (arar), meaning "to strip" or "to make bare."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for עֲרוֹעֵר in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the concept of a juniper or similar shrub is not specifically addressed in the Greek New Testament. However, the thematic elements of desolation and wilderness can be found in Greek terms related to desert or barren places, such as ἔρημος (erēmos • Strong's Greek 2048), which conveys a similar sense of isolation and emptiness. Usage: The term עֲרוֹעֵר is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a specific type of plant, often associated with desolation or wilderness. Context: The Hebrew word עֲרוֹעֵר (aro'er) appears in the context of desolation and wilderness, symbolizing barrenness and isolation. It is often translated as "juniper" in English versions of the Bible, though the exact species is debated among scholars. The plant is noted for its ability to survive in harsh, dry conditions, making it a fitting metaphor for desolation. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used in passages that emphasize the starkness and lifelessness of certain landscapes, drawing a parallel between the physical environment and spiritual desolation. The juniper's presence in these texts underscores themes of judgment and abandonment, as seen in the prophetic literature where the imagery of a barren wilderness serves as a backdrop for divine messages.
