Strong's Lexicon tirah: Encampment, dwelling place, fortress Original Word: טִירָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: tiyrah Pronunciation: tee-RAH Phonetic Spelling: (tee-raw') Definition: Encampment, dwelling place, fortress Meaning: a wall, a fortress, a hamlet Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרָה (yarah), meaning "to throw" or "to cast," which can imply setting up or establishing. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of "encampment" or "dwelling" can be related to Greek terms such as σκηνή (skēnē - G4633), meaning "tent" or "tabernacle." Usage: The Hebrew word "tirah" primarily refers to a place of encampment or a dwelling place, often used in the context of a nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyle. It can also imply a fortified place or a temporary settlement, reflecting the transient nature of such dwellings. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "tirah" would have been familiar to a people accustomed to periods of nomadic living, especially during the Exodus and the conquest of Canaan. The term evokes images of tents and temporary settlements, which were common among the patriarchs and during the wilderness wanderings. It also reflects the broader Near Eastern practice of establishing temporary fortifications or encampments for protection and community living.
