Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרָא (yara), meaning "to fear" or "to revere."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the proper noun יִרְאוֹן (Jiron) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as it is a specific Hebrew place name without a direct Greek counterpart. However, the concept of "fear" or "reverence" can be related to Greek words such as φόβος (phobos, Strong's Greek 5401), which means "fear" or "terror."

Usage: Jiron is a proper noun used to denote a specific location, a town in the territory of Naphtali.

Context: • Jiron is mentioned in the context of the tribal allotments in the Book of Joshua. It is listed among the fortified cities within the inheritance of the tribe of Naphtali. The town is noted for its strategic and fortified nature, which was typical of many towns in the region during the period of the Israelite settlement in Canaan.
Biblical Reference: Joshua 19:38 • "Iron, Migdal-el, Horem, Beth-anath, and Beth-shemesh. There were nineteen cities, along with their villages."
• The mention of Jiron in the list of cities highlights its inclusion in the broader narrative of the division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel. The town's name, derived from the root meaning "fear," may suggest its historical or geographical significance, possibly as a place of defense or a site associated with reverence or awe.
• The exact location of Jiron is not definitively known today, but it is traditionally associated with the region of Upper Galilee, an area characterized by its hilly terrain and strategic importance in ancient times.
