Strong's Lexicon Ay or Ayya or Ayyath: Ai, Ayyah, Ayyath Original Word: עַי Word Origin: Derived from a root word meaning "heap of ruins." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, as Ai is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: The term "Ai" refers to a Canaanite city conquered by the Israelites under Joshua's leadership. It is often associated with the concept of ruin or destruction, reflecting its fate in the biblical narrative. Cultural and Historical Background: Ai was a significant city in the ancient Near East, located near Bethel. It played a crucial role in the Israelite conquest of Canaan. The city's destruction is emblematic of God's judgment against the Canaanites and His support for Israel. Ai's defeat followed an initial setback due to Achan's sin, highlighting the importance of obedience to God's commands.
