Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root קָרַח (qarach), meaning "to be bald."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew name Kareach, as it is a specific proper noun unique to the Hebrew text and does not have a Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. Usage: The name Kareach appears in the context of a specific individual in the Old Testament. It is used to identify a person, specifically the father of Johanan and Jonathan, who were leaders during the time of the Babylonian exile. Context: Kareach is mentioned in the context of the post-exilic period of Israel's history. He is identified as the father of Johanan and Jonathan, who were prominent figures during the tumultuous times following the destruction of Jerusalem by the Babylonians. Johanan, the son of Kareach, is noted for his leadership among the remnant of Judah that was left in the land after the deportation of many Jews to Babylon. Kareach's sons were involved in the events recorded in the book of Jeremiah, particularly in the narrative concerning the assassination of Gedaliah, the governor appointed by the Babylonians. Johanan, son of Kareach, played a significant role in the aftermath, as he sought to protect the remaining people of Judah and eventually led them to Egypt for refuge. The name Kareach itself, meaning "bald," may have been descriptive or symbolic, but the text does not provide further details about Kareach's life or character beyond his role as the father of these leaders.
