Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Kiriathaim in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible. Usage: Kiriathaim is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, referring to a location in the territory of Moab. The name suggests a settlement that may have been composed of two parts or sections, hence the dual form. Cultural and Historical Background: Kiriathaim was a city located east of the Jordan River, within the region historically associated with the Moabites. It is mentioned in the context of territorial boundaries and conquests. The city was significant in the ancient Near Eastern landscape, often associated with the Moabite civilization, which had interactions and conflicts with the Israelites. The Moabites were descendants of Lot, Abraham's nephew, and had a complex relationship with Israel, sometimes hostile and at other times neutral or allied.
