Strong's Lexicon Yibleam: Yibleam Original Word: יִבְלְעָם Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to swallow or engulf Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Yibleam in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: Yibleam is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a city within the territory allotted to the tribe of Manasseh. The name may imply a place that "engulfs" or "swallows," possibly indicating a geographical feature or historical event associated with the location. Cultural and Historical Background: Yibleam was a city located in the region of the northern kingdom of Israel. It was situated near the border of the tribes of Issachar and Manasseh. The city is mentioned in the context of the Canaanite cities that the Israelites were unable to fully conquer during the initial settlement of the Promised Land. This reflects the ongoing struggle between the Israelites and the remaining Canaanite inhabitants, which was a significant theme in the historical narratives of the Old Testament.
