Strong's Lexicon ir hattemarim: City of Palms Original Word: עִיר הַתְּמָרִים Word Origin: Derived from עִיר (ʿir, meaning "city") and תָּמָר (tamar, meaning "palm tree") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "ʿir hattemarim" as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, Jericho is referred to in the New Testament using the Greek name Ἰεριχώ (Iericho), Strong's Greek #2410. Usage: The term "ʿir hattemarim" refers to a specific location known as the "City of Palms." This name is traditionally associated with the ancient city of Jericho, which was renowned for its abundance of palm trees. The term is used to describe the lush and fertile nature of the area, which stood in contrast to the surrounding desert landscape. Cultural and Historical Background: Jericho, identified as the "City of Palms," is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. It is located near the Jordan River in the Jordan Valley. The city's strategic location and natural resources made it a significant site throughout biblical history. Jericho's palm trees were not only a symbol of its prosperity but also a vital resource for food and materials. The city is famously known for the biblical account of its walls falling after the Israelites, led by Joshua, marched around them as described in the Book of Joshua.
