Strong's Lexicon Arab: Arab Original Word: עֲרָב Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרַב (arab), meaning "to grow dark" or "to become evening." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew "Arab" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as the term is specific to the Hebrew context and culture. Usage: The term "Arab" in the Hebrew Bible refers to a region or people group located in the desert areas to the east and south of Israel. It is often associated with nomadic tribes and desert dwellers. The word is used to describe both a geographical area and the people inhabiting it. Cultural and Historical Background: The Arabs mentioned in the Bible were part of the larger Semitic family of peoples. They were known for their nomadic lifestyle, often living in tents and moving with their herds. Historically, the Arab tribes were involved in trade, particularly in spices and incense, which were highly valued in the ancient Near East. The region of Arabia was known for its harsh desert environment, which shaped the lifestyle and culture of its inhabitants.
