Strong's Lexicon Ummah: Ummah Original Word: עֻמָּה Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to join or associate Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper noun "Ummah" as it is a specific place name in the Hebrew Bible. However, the concept of land allotment and inheritance can be related to Greek terms like "κληρονομία" (kleronomia - inheritance) found in the New Testament. Usage: In the context of the Bible, "Ummah" refers to a specific location, a town or city, mentioned in the territorial allotments of the tribes of Israel. It is identified as a place within the inheritance of the tribe of Asher. Cultural and Historical Background: Ummah is one of the lesser-known towns mentioned in the Old Testament. It is listed among the cities given to the tribe of Asher, one of the twelve tribes of Israel. The allocation of land to the tribes was a significant event in Israel's history, marking the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham regarding the land of Canaan. The precise location of Ummah is not definitively known today, and it is not frequently mentioned in historical or archaeological records outside of the biblical text.
