Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of uncertain derivationCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 5015: Ταρσός (Tarsos) • While not a direct equivalent, Tarsos is a Greek term that may be related in the context of ancient geography and trade, though it specifically refers to a city in Cilicia, not the same as Tarshish. Usage: The term "Tarshish" is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, primarily to denote a distant port or region known for its wealth and trade, particularly in metals like silver, iron, tin, and lead. It is also used as a personal name in genealogical records. Context: • Geographical Location: Tarshish is frequently mentioned as a distant maritime location, often associated with the Phoenicians and their extensive trade networks. It is traditionally thought to be located in the western Mediterranean, possibly in southern Spain, though its exact location remains uncertain. The ships of Tarshish were renowned for their capacity and strength, often symbolizing long-distance trade and wealth.
