Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָרַק (yarak), meaning "to spit" or "to scatter," combined with עָם ('am), meaning "people." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Jorkeam, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament texts. Usage: Jorkeam is a proper noun used as a place name in the Hebrew Bible. Context: Jorkeam is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. It appears in 1 Chronicles 2:44, where it is listed as a descendant of Caleb. The passage reads: "Shema the father of Raham, the father of Jorkeam." This indicates that Jorkeam was a notable figure or location within the lineage of Caleb, a prominent family within the tribe of Judah. The name suggests a place or person associated with the spreading or scattering of people, possibly indicating a settlement or community that expanded or dispersed. The historical and geographical specifics of Jorkeam remain largely unknown, as it is not mentioned elsewhere in the biblical text or in extrabiblical sources.
