Strong's Lexicon Taberah: Taberah Original Word: תַּבְעֵרָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בָּעַר (ba'ar), meaning "to burn" or "to consume with fire." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Taberah, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the concept of divine judgment by fire can be related to Greek terms like πῦρ (pur, G4442), meaning "fire." Usage: Taberah means "burning" and is used as a proper noun to denote a specific location in the wilderness where the Israelites experienced God's wrath through fire. It signifies a place of divine judgment and serves as a reminder of the consequences of disobedience and complaint against God. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of the Israelites' journey through the wilderness, Taberah represents a significant event where the people complained about their hardships, leading to God's anger being kindled against them. The fire of the LORD consumed some of the outskirts of the camp, demonstrating God's holiness and intolerance of rebellion. This event is part of the broader narrative of the Israelites' 40-year journey from Egypt to the Promised Land, marked by repeated instances of disobedience and divine discipline.
