However, the concept of desolation or ruins can be related to Greek terms like ἔρημος (erēmos), meaning "desolate" or "wilderness."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "Iyyim" refers to a specific location mentioned in the Old Testament. It is often translated as "ruins" or "heaps" in some contexts, but as a proper noun, it denotes a place name. The word is used to describe a geographical location, possibly a settlement or region characterized by its desolate or ruinous state.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, place names often carried significant meanings related to the geography or history of the location. The name "Iyyim" suggests a place that may have been known for its desolation or ruins, possibly due to past destruction or abandonment. Such locations were common in the biblical narrative, often serving as reminders of divine judgment or the transient nature of human endeavors.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a place on the E. border of Moab<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Iim (1), Iyim (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">עִיִּים</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Γαι</font>, etc. (as if <font class="hebrew2">עַי</font>): <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>station of Israel on east border of Moab, before</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">דִּיבֹן גָּד</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/33-45.htm">Numbers 33:45</a>, = <font class="hebrew2">עִיֵּי הָעֲבָרִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/33-44.htm">Numbers 33:44</a>;
