Strong's Lexicon Yericho or Yerecho or Yerichoh: Jericho Original Word: יְרִיחוֹ Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: Yriychow Pronunciation: yeh-ree-KHO Phonetic Spelling: (yer-ee-kho') Definition: Jericho, Jerecho Meaning: Jericho, a city of significance in biblical history, often referred to as the "City of Palms" due to its lush palm trees and fertile surroundings. Word Origin: Derived from the root יָרַח (yareach), meaning "moon," possibly referring to the city's ancient association with lunar worship or its moon-shaped plain. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2410: Ἰεριχώ (Iericho) • This Greek term corresponds to the Hebrew יְרִיחוֹ and is used in the New Testament to refer to the city of Jericho. It appears in the context of Jesus' travels and teachings, highlighting the city's continued significance during the time of the New Testament. Usage: The term יְרִיחוֹ appears in the Hebrew Bible as a proper noun, denoting the ancient city of Jericho. It is mentioned in various contexts, including its conquest by the Israelites under Joshua and its later rebuilding. Context: Jericho is one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world, located near the Jordan River in the West Bank. In the biblical narrative, Jericho is most famously known for its miraculous conquest by the Israelites, as described in the Book of Joshua. According to Joshua 6, the walls of Jericho fell after the Israelites marched around the city for seven days, blowing trumpets and shouting. This event marked the beginning of the Israelite conquest of Canaan. Jericho is also mentioned in the context of Jesus' ministry in the New Testament. In the Gospels, Jesus heals blind Bartimaeus as He is leaving Jericho (Mark 10:46-52), and He encounters Zacchaeus, the tax collector, in the city (Luke 19:1-10). The city was known for its strategic location and its abundant natural resources, including a spring that provided a reliable water source. Jericho's fertile land made it an attractive settlement area throughout history. Archaeological excavations have revealed multiple layers of settlement, indicating its long history of habitation. The city's ruins, including remnants of its ancient walls, continue to be a site of interest for archaeologists and biblical scholars.
