This reflects the continuity of the idea of urban centers as significant places of human habitation and activity across both the Hebrew and Greek scriptures. Usage: The word קִרְיָה appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often used to describe cities or significant urban centers. It is sometimes used interchangeably with other terms for city or town, but it can carry connotations of a more established or fortified location. Context: • The term קִרְיָה (qiryah) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a city or a built-up area. It is found in several passages, often highlighting the significance or strength of a particular location. For example, in Isaiah 22:2, the term is used to describe a "tumultuous city," indicating a place bustling with activity and life. Similarly, in Proverbs 10:15, it is used metaphorically to describe the wealth of the rich as their "strong city," suggesting security and stability.
