Original Word: יְרִיעוֹת
Part of Speech: Proper Name Feminine
Transliteration: Yriy`owth
Pronunciation: yeh-ree-OTH
Phonetic Spelling: (yer-ee-ohth')
Definition: Jerioth
Meaning: Jerioth is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. The name is often interpreted to mean "curtains" or "tents," possibly indicating a connection to a dwelling or covering.

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root יָרַע (yara'), which means "to tremble" or "to be afraid."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Jerioth, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament writings.

Usage: Jerioth is used as a feminine proper name in the Old Testament. It appears in genealogical contexts, specifically in relation to familial lineages.

Context: Jerioth is mentioned in the genealogical records of the tribe of Judah. In 1 Chronicles 2:18, Jerioth is listed as one of the wives of Caleb, a descendant of Judah. The passage suggests that Jerioth bore children to Caleb, although the text is somewhat ambiguous, leading to various interpretations regarding her exact role and the identity of her offspring. The mention of Jerioth in the genealogical records highlights the importance of family lineage and heritage in the biblical narrative, particularly within the tribe of Judah, which holds significant prominence in Israel's history.
