Strong's Lexicon Ayyalon: Aijalon, Ajalon Original Word: אַיָּלוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root word אַיִל (ayil), meaning "ram" or "deer," which can also imply strength or a place of strength. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Ayyalon in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew geography and history. Usage: Ayyalon refers to a significant location in ancient Israel, often associated with a valley or a city. It is mentioned in the context of battles and territorial boundaries. The name itself suggests a place of strength or prominence, likely due to its strategic location. Cultural and Historical Background: Ayyalon was a city in the territory allotted to the tribe of Dan, although it was also associated with the tribe of Benjamin. It is situated in a valley that served as a key route for travel and military campaigns. The Valley of Aijalon is historically significant as a battleground, notably in the account of Joshua's battle against the Amorites, where Joshua famously commanded the sun and moon to stand still (Joshua 10:12-13).
