Strong's Lexicon Kuth or Kuthah: Kuth or Kuthah Original Word: כּוּת or כּוּתָה Word Origin: Derived from an ancient city name in Mesopotamia Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Kuth or Kuthah in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific proper noun related to a location in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: Kuth or Kuthah refers to a city in ancient Mesopotamia, known for its association with the people who were relocated to Samaria by the Assyrian Empire. The term is used in the context of the Assyrian resettlement policy, where people from various conquered regions were moved to different parts of the empire to prevent rebellion and assimilate cultures. Cultural and Historical Background: Kuthah was an ancient city located in what is now modern-day Iraq. It was part of the Assyrian Empire's strategy to control its vast territories by relocating populations. The people from Kuthah, known as Kuthites, were among those brought to Samaria after the fall of the Northern Kingdom of Israel in 722 BC. This relocation led to the intermingling of cultures and religions, contributing to the development of the Samaritan people, who were often viewed with suspicion and hostility by the Jews of Judah.
