Strong's Lexicon Tartaq: Tartan Original Word: תַּרְתָּק Word Origin: Of foreign origin Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Tartaq in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific name of a deity mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The term "Tartaq" refers to a deity worshiped by the Avvites, a people group mentioned in the Old Testament. It is one of the gods introduced into the region of Samaria by the Assyrian settlers after the exile of the Israelites. The name appears in the context of idolatry and the syncretistic practices that were prevalent among the nations surrounding Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: The Avvites were one of the groups relocated to Samaria by the Assyrian Empire after the conquest of the Northern Kingdom of Israel in 722 B.C. The Assyrians had a policy of resettling conquered peoples to prevent rebellion and to assimilate them into the empire. This led to a mix of religious practices, as these groups brought their own deities and rituals. Tartaq, as a deity, reflects the polytheistic and idolatrous practices that were common in the ancient Near East, contrasting sharply with the monotheistic worship of Yahweh commanded in the Hebrew Scriptures.
