Strong's Lexicon Yerusha or Yerushah: Inheritance, possession Original Word: יְרוּשָׁא Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרַשׁ (yarash), meaning "to inherit" or "to possess." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2817 (κληρονομία, kleronomia): Inheritance - G2818 (κληρονόμος, kleronomos): Heir Usage: The term "Yerusha" or "Yerushah" refers to an inheritance or possession, often in the context of land or property passed down through generations. It signifies the transfer of ownership, typically from parent to child, and is used to describe the divinely allotted portions of land given to the tribes of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, inheritance was a crucial aspect of family and tribal identity. Land was not merely a commodity but a divine gift and a symbol of God's covenant with His people. The concept of inheritance was deeply tied to the promises made to the patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, regarding the land of Canaan. The distribution of land among the tribes of Israel, as described in the book of Joshua, was a fulfillment of these promises and a tangible expression of God's faithfulness.
