Strong's Lexicon Qeriyyoth: Kerioth Original Word: קְרִיּוֹת Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root קִרְיָה (qiryah), meaning "city" or "town." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Qeriyyoth in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. Usage: Qeriyyoth refers to a group of cities or a specific city mentioned in the Old Testament. It is often associated with the region of Moab and is noted as the hometown of Judas Iscariot, one of Jesus' twelve apostles, although this connection is more traditional than explicitly stated in the Bible. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, cities were often fortified and served as centers of trade, governance, and culture. The mention of Qeriyyoth in the context of Moab suggests it was a significant location within this neighboring nation of Israel. Moab was situated east of the Dead Sea and had a complex relationship with Israel, sometimes hostile and at other times allied.
