However, related concepts of places and regions can be found in entries like G2784 (kerusso) for "proclaim" or "preach," reflecting the spiritual significance of locations like Kiriath-Jearim in biblical narratives.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>Yearim is a place name in the Hebrew Bible, often associated with the region of Kiriath-Jearim. The name itself suggests a wooded or forested area, which is consistent with the geographical descriptions found in the biblical text.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Kiriath-Jearim, where Yearim is located, was a significant site in ancient Israel. It was one of the cities of the Gibeonites and later became a Levitical city. The Ark of the Covenant was kept there for a time before being moved to Jerusalem by King David. The name Yearim reflects the area's natural landscape, which was likely forested, providing resources and strategic advantages.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/3293b.htm">yaar</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a mountain in Pal.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Jearim (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">יְעָרִים</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a mountain</b></font> only <font class="hebrew2">הַריְֿעָרִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/joshua/15-10.htm">Joshua 15:10</a> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">πόλιν Ιαρειν</font>), where explained as = <font class="hebrew2">כְּסָלוֺן</font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Ξας</font>(<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">α</font>)<font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">λων</font>), modern <em>Kesla</em>, northeast of Beth Shemesh, compare Rob<sup>BR ii. 30 n</sup>.; iii. 154. — <font class="hebrew2">קִרְיַת יְעָרִים</font> see below <font class="hebrew2">קִרְיָת</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">יַעֲרֶשְׁיָה</font> see sub. <font class="hebrew2">ערשׁ</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">יַעֲשַׂי</font>, <font class="hebrew2">יעשׂו</font>, <font class="hebrew2">יַעֲשִׂיאֵל</font> see <font class="hebrew2">עשׂה</font>. <p><font class="hebrew2">יִפְדְּיָה</font> see sub. <font class="hebrew2">פדה</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>Jearim <p>Plural of <a href="/hebrew/3293.htm">ya'ar</a>; forests; Jearim, a place in Palestine -- Jearim.
