Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from עַשְׁתָּרוֹת (Ashtaroth), a city in Bashan.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for עַשְׁתְּרָתִי, as it is a specific Hebrew term referring to a geographical origin. However, the concept of identifying individuals by their place of origin is present in the Greek New Testament, such as in the use of terms like "Nazarene" (Ναζωραῖος, Strong's Greek 3480) to denote someone from Nazareth.

Usage: The term is used to denote a person from the city of Ashtaroth. It appears in the context of identifying individuals by their place of origin.

Context: The term עַשְׁתְּרָתִי (Ashtarathi) is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to an individual from the city of Ashtaroth. Ashtaroth was a significant city in the region of Bashan, east of the Jordan River. It was known as a center of worship for the Canaanite goddess Astarte, which is reflected in its name. The city is mentioned in various biblical narratives, particularly in the context of the conquests and settlements of the Israelites.

In the Bible, the term "Ashterathite" is used to identify certain individuals by their geographical origin. For example, in 1 Chronicles 11:44, the term is used to describe Uzzia, one of David's mighty warriors: "Uzzia the Ashterathite, Shama and Jeiel the sons of Hotham the Aroerite." This usage highlights the practice of identifying people by their hometowns or regions, which was common in ancient times.

The city of Ashtaroth itself held strategic and religious significance in the ancient Near East. It was part of the territory allotted to the half-tribe of Manasseh during the division of the Promised Land. The city's association with the worship of Astarte indicates its role as a religious center, which may have influenced the cultural and religious practices of its inhabitants.
