Berean Strong's Lexicon Me Hayyarqon: Waters of the Yarqon Original Word: מֵי הַיַּרְקוֹן Word Origin: Derived from מַיִם (mayim, meaning "waters") and יַרְקוֹן (yarqon, meaning "greenish" or "pale"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Me Hayyarqon" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew geographical term. However, the concept of rivers and water bodies is represented by Greek words such as ποταμός (potamos, Strong's G4215) for "river." Usage: The term "Me Hayyarqon" refers to the waters of the Yarqon River, a significant waterway in ancient Israel. The name "Yarqon" is derived from the Hebrew root יָרַק (yarak), meaning "green" or "pale," likely referring to the color of the water or the surrounding vegetation. Cultural and Historical Background: The Yarqon River is one of the largest rivers in Israel, flowing westward into the Mediterranean Sea. In biblical times, it served as a natural boundary and was a vital source of water for agriculture and daily life. The river's fertile banks supported various settlements and were crucial for the sustenance of the local population. The name "Yarqon" reflects the lush greenery that characterized the river's surroundings, making it an essential feature of the landscape in the region.
