Strong's Lexicon Arnon: Arnon Original Word: אַרְנוֹן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be swift or noisy Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Arnon in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew context. Usage: Arnon refers to a significant river and its surrounding valley, which served as a boundary between the territories of Moab and the Amorites. It is often mentioned in the context of Israel's wilderness journey and conquest of the Promised Land. Cultural and Historical Background: The Arnon River, known today as Wadi Mujib, is a major geographical feature in the Transjordan region. In biblical times, it marked the northern border of Moab and the southern boundary of the Amorite kingdom. The river's deep gorge and swift waters made it a formidable natural barrier. The region around the Arnon was strategically important, as it controlled access to the King's Highway, a major trade route.
