Strong's Lexicon tarpelaye: Tarpelites Original Word: טַרְפְּלַי Word Origin: Likely of foreign origin, possibly Assyrian or Babylonian. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Tarpelites" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific ethnic designation found in the Old Testament. Usage: The term "Tarpelites" refers to a group of people mentioned in the Bible, specifically in the context of those who were settled in Samaria by the Assyrian king after the exile of the Israelites. The Tarpelites were one of several groups brought into the region to repopulate the land and integrate with the remaining inhabitants. Cultural and Historical Background: The Tarpelites were part of the Assyrian policy of resettlement, which aimed to prevent rebellion by mixing different peoples and cultures. This policy was implemented after the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel in 722 B.C. The Assyrians deported many Israelites and brought in people from other conquered regions, including the Tarpelites, to Samaria. This mixing of populations led to the development of the Samaritans, a group with a distinct identity that was often at odds with the Jews of Judah.
