Berean Strong's Lexicon yerushshah: Inheritance, possession Original Word: יְרוּשָּׁה Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרַשׁ (yarash), meaning "to possess" or "to inherit." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2817 (κληρονομία, kleronomia) - inheritance - G2819 (κλῆρος, kleros) - lot, portion, inheritance Usage: The term "yerushshah" refers to an inheritance or possession, often in the context of land or property that is passed down through generations. It signifies not only the physical transfer of property but also the continuation of family lineage and covenantal promises. In the Old Testament, "yerushshah" is frequently used to describe the land of Canaan, which God promised to the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob as a perpetual inheritance. 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 "yerushshah" was deeply embedded in the legal and social structures of Israel, with laws governing the transfer of property to ensure that it remained within the family or tribe. This was particularly important in maintaining the tribal allotments given during the conquest of Canaan under Joshua.
