Strong's Lexicon Yaor: River, Stream, Canal Original Word: יָעוּר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to flow Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 4215 (Potamos): Refers to a river or stream, used in the New Testament to describe bodies of flowing water. Usage: The Hebrew word "Yaor" primarily refers to a river or stream, most notably used to describe the Nile River in Egypt. It can also denote canals or channels that are part of a river system. In the biblical context, "Yaor" is often associated with the life-giving and sustaining properties of water, as well as the power and majesty of God's creation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Egypt, the Nile River was central to the civilization's agriculture, economy, and daily life. It was considered sacred and was often deified. The river's annual flooding deposited nutrient-rich silt onto the land, making it fertile for crops. In the biblical narrative, the Nile is a symbol of both life and judgment, as seen in the plagues of Egypt where the river was turned to blood (Exodus 7:20-21).
