Strong's Lexicon Atharim: Atharim Original Word: אֲתָרִים Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אֵתֶר (eter), meaning "place" or "way." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Atharim, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, related concepts of "way" or "path" might be linked to Greek terms like ὁδός (hodos), meaning "way" or "road." Usage: The term "Atharim" is used in the Bible to refer to a specific route or way. It is most notably associated with the "Way of Atharim," a path mentioned in the context of the Israelites' wilderness journey. Cultural and Historical Background: The mention of Atharim occurs during the Israelites' 40-year journey through the wilderness after their exodus from Egypt. This period was marked by numerous challenges and divine interventions as the Israelites traveled towards the Promised Land. The "Way of Atharim" likely refers to a route or path that was significant during this journey, possibly a well-known trade or travel route of the time.
