Strong's Lexicon yeor: River, Stream, Nile Original Word: יְאֹר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to flow Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 4215 (ποταμός, potamos): Refers to a river or stream, used in the New Testament to describe bodies of flowing water. Usage: The Hebrew word "yeor" primarily refers to a river or stream, with a specific emphasis on the Nile River in Egypt. It is used in the context of describing bodies of flowing water, often highlighting their significance in the narrative of the Israelites, particularly during their time in Egypt. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, rivers were vital for sustaining life, agriculture, and trade. The Nile River, in particular, was the lifeblood of Egypt, providing fertile soil through its annual flooding, which allowed for prosperous agriculture. The Nile was also central to Egyptian religion and mythology, often associated with gods and seen as a divine gift. For the Israelites, the Nile represented both a source of sustenance and a symbol of their bondage in Egypt.
