Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to roar.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew word "Arnon," as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible and its geographical context.

Usage: The term "Arnon" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a river that serves as a boundary line. It is frequently mentioned in the context of territorial descriptions and historical events involving the Israelites and neighboring nations.

Context: The Arnon is a river located in the Transjordan region, which flows into the Dead Sea. It is historically significant as it marked the boundary between the territories of the Moabites and the Amorites. In the biblical narrative, the Arnon is often referenced as a landmark delineating the extent of Israelite conquests and settlements.

The river is first mentioned in the context of the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land. In Numbers 21:13, the Israelites camped by the Arnon, which is described as the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. The Arnon is also noted in Deuteronomy 2:24, where God commands the Israelites to cross the Arnon and begin the conquest of the Amorite king Sihon.

The Arnon's significance is further highlighted in Judges 11:18, where Jephthah recounts Israel's journey and the lands they passed through, emphasizing the Arnon as a boundary. In Isaiah 16:2, the Arnon is mentioned in a prophecy concerning Moab, illustrating its continued importance as a geographical and political marker.

The river's name, derived from a root meaning "to roar," likely reflects the sound of its waters, which would have been a notable feature in the arid landscape of the region. The Arnon's role as a boundary and its frequent mention in territorial contexts underscore its importance in the biblical narrative as a symbol of division and transition.
