Strong's Lexicon Shittim: Shittim Original Word: שִׁטִּים Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew word "שִׁטָּה" (shittah), referring to the acacia tree. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Shittim, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, the Greek term for acacia, "ἀκακία" (akakia), can be related due to the etymological connection to the acacia trees. Usage: Shittim is a geographical location mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the plains of Moab, east of the Jordan River. It is notable as the final encampment of the Israelites before they crossed the Jordan into the Promised Land. Cultural and Historical Background: Shittim, located in the region of Moab, was an area characterized by the presence of acacia trees, which were common in the arid regions of the Near East. The acacia wood was significant in the construction of the Tabernacle and its furnishings. The location of Shittim holds historical importance as the site where the Israelites prepared for their entry into Canaan and where they fell into idolatry and immorality with the Moabites, leading to God's judgment.
