Strong's Lexicon Yoqmeam: Jokmeam Original Word: יָקְמְעָם Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root קום (qum), meaning "to rise" or "to stand," combined with the prefix י (yo), which can imply causation or possession. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Yoqmeam in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew geography and culture. Usage: Yoqmeam, or Jokmeam, is a place name in the Hebrew Bible. The name likely means "the people will rise" or "established by the people." It is identified as a Levitical city within the territory of Ephraim. Cultural and Historical Background: Yoqmeam is mentioned as one of the cities given to the Levites, the priestly tribe of Israel, who were allocated cities within the territories of other tribes rather than a contiguous land inheritance. This reflects the Levites' role in religious and educational functions throughout Israel. The city is located in the region of Ephraim, a significant tribe known for its leadership and influence in the northern kingdom of Israel.
