Strong's Lexicon Tel Abib: Tel Abib Original Word: תֵּל אָבִיב Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: תֵּל (tel) meaning "mound" or "hill" and אָבִיב (abib) meaning "spring" or "fresh ears of grain." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Tel Abib in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: Tel Abib refers to a location mentioned in the Book of Ezekiel. The name can be understood as "mound of spring" or "hill of fresh ears," indicating a place of renewal or new beginnings. It is significant as the place where the prophet Ezekiel lived among the exiles by the Kebar River. Cultural and Historical Background: Tel Abib is situated in the region of Babylonia, where the Jewish exiles were taken after the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem in 586 BC. This period was marked by significant cultural and religious challenges for the Israelites, as they were removed from their homeland and temple worship. The exilic community had to navigate maintaining their identity and faith in a foreign land. Tel Abib served as a center for the Jewish exiles, where they could gather and maintain their cultural and religious practices.
