Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew word אֹרֶן (oren) as it specifically refers to a type of tree native to the region described in the Hebrew Bible. However, trees in general are often referred to in Greek using the word δένδρον (dendron), Strong's Greek Number 1186, which is a general term for "tree."

Usage: The term אֹרֶן (oren) is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to the ash tree, a type of tree known for its height and strength.

Context: The Hebrew word אֹרֶן (oren) appears in the context of describing the natural beauty and resources of the land of Israel. The ash tree is noted for its tall and erect stature, which is emblematic of strength and resilience. In biblical times, the ash tree would have been valued for its wood, which was used in various applications due to its durability and workability.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is found in Isaiah 44:14, where it is mentioned among other trees such as the cedar and the cypress. The passage highlights the diversity and richness of the flora in the region, emphasizing the provision and creativity of God in creation:

"He cuts down cedars or retrieves a cypress or oak. He lets it grow strong among the trees of the forest. He plants a pine, and the rain nourishes it."

The ash tree, like other trees mentioned, serves as a metaphor for strength and endurance, qualities that are often attributed to the faithful in biblical literature. The imagery of trees in the Bible frequently symbolizes life, growth, and stability, reflecting the spiritual truths conveyed through the natural world.
