Strong's Lexicon Arkevaye: Arkevites Original Word: אַרְכְּוַי Word Origin: Derived from the root word ארך (arak), meaning "to be long" or "to prolong." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "Arkevaye" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific ethnic designation found in the Hebrew text. Usage: The term "Arkevaye" refers to a group of people mentioned in the Old Testament. It is used to denote the inhabitants of a specific region or city, possibly linked to the Assyrian Empire. The Arkevites are listed among the peoples who were settled in Samaria by the Assyrians after the conquest of the Northern Kingdom of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: The Arkevites were part of the diverse groups relocated by the Assyrian Empire during their policy of population displacement. This was a common practice to prevent rebellion and to assimilate conquered peoples into the empire. The Assyrians would deport people from their homelands and settle them in other parts of the empire, including the region of Samaria. This led to a mixing of cultures and religions, which is reflected in the syncretistic practices that developed in the area.
