Strong's Lexicon Almon: Almon Original Word: עַלְמוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root עָלַם (alam), meaning "to conceal" or "to hide." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Almon in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name without a direct counterpart in the Greek New Testament. Usage: Almon is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, specifically a Levitical city within the territory of the tribe of Benjamin. The name may imply a sense of concealment or hiddenness, possibly reflecting its geographical or historical characteristics. Cultural and Historical Background: Almon is mentioned in the context of the allocation of cities to the Levites, the priestly tribe of Israel, who were given specific cities to inhabit within the territories of the other tribes. This allocation was part of the broader division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel after their conquest of Canaan. The Levites were responsible for religious duties and did not receive a contiguous territory like the other tribes, but rather cities scattered throughout Israel.
