Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Hebron in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew geography and history.

Usage: Hebron is a significant city in the biblical narrative, often associated with key patriarchal figures. It is primarily known as a city in the hill country of Judah, south of Jerusalem. The name suggests a place of alliance or association, reflecting its historical and relational significance in the biblical text.

Cultural and Historical Background: Hebron is one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. It holds great importance in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. Biblically, it is first mentioned in connection with Abraham, who settled there and purchased the Cave of Machpelah as a burial site for his wife Sarah (Genesis 23:2-20). Hebron later became the royal city of King David for seven and a half years before he moved his capital to Jerusalem (2 Samuel 2:11). The city was also designated as one of the cities of refuge (Joshua 20:7).
