3408. Yerioth
Strong's Lexicon
Yerioth: Curtains, hangings

Original Word: יְרִיעוֹת
Part of Speech: Proper Name Feminine
Transliteration: Yriy`owth
Pronunciation: yeh-ree-OTH
Phonetic Spelling: (yer-ee-ohth')
Definition: Curtains, hangings
Meaning: Jerioth

Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרַע (yarah), meaning "to tremble" or "to be afraid," though the connection is more thematic than etymological.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Yerioth," the concept of sacred coverings or veils can be related to Greek terms such as καταπέτασμα (katapetasma), meaning "veil" or "curtain," used in the context of the temple veil in the New Testament (e.g., Hebrews 6:19).

Usage: The term "Yerioth" refers to curtains or hangings, often used in the context of the tabernacle or tent structures. In the Bible, it specifically denotes the fabric coverings used in the construction of the tabernacle, serving both functional and symbolic purposes.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the tabernacle was a central place of worship and the dwelling place of God's presence among His people. The use of curtains or "Yerioth" in the tabernacle was significant, as they provided a physical separation between the sacred space and the outside world. These curtains were crafted with fine materials and intricate designs, reflecting the holiness and beauty of the worship space. The construction and arrangement of the tabernacle, including its curtains, were given directly by God to Moses, emphasizing their importance in Israelite worship and community life.
