Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Arad, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and context. However, references to geographical locations or peoples in the Greek Septuagint may use transliterations or equivalent terms to describe similar entities. Usage: The term "Arad" is used in the context of a geographical location and its inhabitants, specifically a Canaanite city and its king who opposed the Israelites during their wilderness journey. Context: Arad is mentioned in the Old Testament as a Canaanite city whose king opposed the Israelites during their journey to the Promised Land. The city is first referenced in Numbers 21:1, where the King of Arad attacks Israel. The Israelites vow to the LORD to destroy the cities of the Canaanites if He delivers them into their hands, which is later fulfilled as recorded in Numbers 33:40 and Judges 1:16. Arad is located in the Negev region, south of Hebron, and is associated with the Kenites, who settled in the area after leaving the City of Palms. The archaeological site of Tel Arad provides evidence of a fortified city from the Canaanite period, supporting the biblical narrative of its existence and significance.
