Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew word שִׁטָּה (shittah), which refers to the acacia tree.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Shittim, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a location not directly mentioned in the Greek New Testament. Usage: Shittim is used in the context of a geographical location significant in the narrative of the Israelites' journey to the Promised Land. It is mentioned in several passages in the Old Testament. Context: Shittim is a notable location in the biblical narrative, particularly in the book of Numbers and Joshua. It is situated in the plains of Moab, opposite Jericho, and serves as the final encampment of the Israelites before they cross the Jordan River into Canaan. In Numbers 25:1, Shittim is the site where the Israelites fell into idolatry and immorality with the Moabite women, leading to a divine plague. The location is also mentioned in Joshua 2:1, where Joshua sends spies from Shittim to scout the land of Jericho. The name "Shittim" is derived from the acacia trees that were abundant in the area, which were also used in the construction of the Tabernacle. The significance of Shittim extends beyond its geographical location, symbolizing a place of both failure and preparation for the fulfillment of God's promises to Israel.
