Berean Strong's Lexicon Tsemarayim: Tsemarayim Original Word: צְמָרַיִם Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root צמר (tsamar), which can mean "wool" or "to be shaggy," possibly indicating a place associated with wool production or a rugged, woolly landscape. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Tsemarayim in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name without a direct counterpart in the Greek New Testament. Usage: Tsemarayim is a place name mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is identified as a location in the territory of Moab. The name itself may suggest a connection to wool or a characteristic of the landscape, though the exact meaning remains uncertain. Cultural and Historical Background: Tsemarayim is situated in the region of Moab, an area east of the Dead Sea. Moab was a frequent point of interaction and conflict with Israel throughout biblical history. The Moabites were descendants of Lot, Abraham's nephew, and had a complex relationship with the Israelites, ranging from hostility to periods of peace and cooperation. The mention of Tsemarayim in the context of Moab highlights the geopolitical dynamics of the region during the biblical period.
