Strong's Lexicon Tarshish: Tarshish Original Word: תַּרְשִׁישׁ Word Origin: Of uncertain derivation Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5015 (Ταρχίς - Tarchis): A Greek transliteration of the Hebrew Tarshish, used in the Septuagint. Usage: Tarshish is a geographical location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, often associated with maritime trade and wealth. It is frequently referenced as a distant port or region known for its ships and valuable goods, such as silver, iron, tin, and lead. Cultural and Historical Background: Tarshish is traditionally thought to be a distant maritime location, possibly in the western Mediterranean. Some scholars suggest it could be linked to Tartessos in ancient Spain, while others propose locations in Sardinia or even the British Isles. In biblical times, Tarshish was renowned for its trade and wealth, symbolizing distant lands and the reach of Israel's trade networks. The "ships of Tarshish" were large, sea-going vessels capable of long voyages, indicating the extent of ancient trade routes.
