Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Arba, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament.

Usage: Arba is used as a proper noun in the Hebrew Bible, specifically as the name of a significant individual. It appears in the context of genealogies and territorial descriptions.

Context: Arba is recognized as the father of Anak and the progenitor of the Anakim, a race of giants mentioned in the Old Testament. He is notably associated with the city of Hebron, which was originally called Kiriath Arba, meaning "City of Arba." This designation highlights Arba's prominence and influence in the region. The city of Hebron holds historical and theological significance, being a key location in the narratives of the patriarchs. In Joshua 14:15 (BSB), it is stated: "Now the name of Hebron was formerly Kiriath Arba, after Arba, the greatest man among the Anakim." This passage underscores Arba's stature and the legacy of his descendants, the Anakim, who were known for their formidable size and strength.
