Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root עוּר (H5782), which means "to rouse" or "to awaken."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Eri, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew genealogical context. However, the concept of vigilance or watchfulness can be related to Greek terms such as γρηγορέω (G1127), meaning "to watch" or "to be vigilant." Usage: Eri is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as the name of a person. Context: Eri is a biblical figure mentioned in the Old Testament as one of the sons of Gad, who was one of the twelve sons of Jacob (Israel). Eri is listed among the descendants of Gad in the genealogical records. His name appears in the context of the tribal listings, which are significant for understanding the distribution and lineage of the tribes of Israel. The mention of Eri is found in Genesis 46:16, where the sons of Gad are enumerated as part of the larger narrative of Jacob's family moving to Egypt during the time of Joseph. The tribe of Gad, including the descendants of Eri, later settled in the Transjordan region, east of the Jordan River, as described in the book of Numbers and Joshua. Eri's name, meaning "watchful" or "vigilant," may reflect a characteristic valued by the tribe or attributed to him personally.
