Strong's Lexicon Ariel: Ariel Original Word: אֲרִיאֵל Word Origin: Derived from two Hebrew words: אֲרִי (ari, meaning "lion") and אֵל (el, meaning "God" or "mighty"). Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Ariel" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. Usage: The name "Ariel" is often interpreted as "Lion of God" or "Hearth of God." It is used in the Bible to refer to a person, a symbolic name for Jerusalem, and possibly an altar hearth. The term conveys strength, majesty, and divine association, reflecting the characteristics of a lion and the presence of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, lions were symbols of power and royalty, often associated with deities and kings. The use of "Ariel" as a name for Jerusalem in Isaiah 29:1-2 reflects the city's significance as a center of worship and divine presence. The term may also allude to the altar hearth, a place of sacrifice and communion with God, emphasizing the city's role in religious life.
