Strong's Lexicon Maaleh Aqrabbim: Ascent of Akrabbim; Scorpion Pass Original Word: מַעֲלֵה עַקְרַבִּים Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words מַעֲלֶה (ma'aleh), meaning "ascent" or "pass," and עַקְרַבִּים (aqrabbim), meaning "scorpions." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for Maaleh Aqrabbim, as it is a specific Hebrew geographical name. However, geographical terms related to boundaries and regions can be found in the Greek Septuagint translations of the Old Testament. Usage: Maaleh Aqrabbim refers to a specific geographical location mentioned in the Bible, known as the "Ascent of Akrabbim" or "Scorpion Pass." It is a notable landmark that served as a boundary marker in the southern region of ancient Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: Maaleh Aqrabbim is located in the Negev desert region, which is characterized by its arid climate and rugged terrain. The name "Scorpion Pass" likely reflects the presence of scorpions in the area, which were common in the desert environment. This pass was a significant route for travelers and traders moving between the southern regions of Israel and neighboring territories. It also served as a boundary marker for the tribal allotments of Judah and the southern border of the Promised Land.
