Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root קִרְיָה (qiryah), meaning "city" or "town."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Strong's Greek entry is G2469, Ἰσκαριώθ (Iskariōth), which is often associated with Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve apostles of Jesus. The name Iscariot is thought to be derived from the Hebrew "Ish Kerioth," meaning "man of Kerioth," suggesting a possible connection to the town of Kerioth. Usage: Kerioth is used in the Hebrew Bible as a geographical location. It is mentioned in the context of a town in Moab and is also associated with a town in the territory of Judah. Context: Kerioth is referenced in the Old Testament as a significant location. In Jeremiah 48:24, Kerioth is mentioned among the cities of Moab that are destined for judgment: "upon Kerioth, and upon Bozrah, and upon all the cities of the land of Moab, far and near." This indicates its importance within the Moabite region. Additionally, Kerioth is noted in the context of Judah in Joshua 15:25, where it is listed among the towns in the southern part of the tribal allotment: "Hazor, Hadattah, Kerioth, Hezron (that is, Hazor)." The dual mention of Kerioth in different contexts suggests it may have been a common name for towns or a name that was used for multiple locations. The association with Moab and Judah highlights its geographical and historical significance in the biblical narrative.
