Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the name of a location, עֵרֶק (Erek), which is a place in the land of Canaan.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew term עַרְקִי (Arkite), as it is a specific proper noun referring to a group of people from a particular location in the Old Testament. The Greek Septuagint may use transliterations or equivalent terms to refer to the Arkites, but these are not directly indexed in Strong's Greek concordance. Usage: The term "Arkite" is used in the Bible to refer to the people originating from the city of Arka. It appears in genealogical contexts, specifically in the listing of the descendants of Canaan. Context: The Arkites are mentioned in the genealogical records of the descendants of Canaan, the son of Ham, in the Book of Genesis. The city of Arka, from which the Arkites derive their name, was situated in the region that later became known as Phoenicia, near the modern-day city of Tripoli in Lebanon. The Arkites are listed among other Canaanite tribes, indicating their inclusion in the broader Canaanite culture and society. In Genesis 10:17, the Arkites are mentioned as one of the many groups that descended from Canaan: "the Hivites, the Arkites, the Sinites" (BSB). This passage highlights the diverse and widespread nature of the Canaanite peoples, with the Arkites being one of the smaller, less frequently mentioned groups. The historical and archaeological evidence about the Arkites is limited, but their inclusion in the biblical genealogies underscores their role in the ancient Near Eastern context.
