Word Origin: Derived from the root ×§Ö¸×¨Ö¸× (qarah), which means "to encounter" or "to meet."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4172 (ÏÏλιÏ, polis): Often used in the New Testament to refer to a city, similar to the Hebrew "qirya."Usage: The term "qirya" or "qiryah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a city or town. It often refers to a populated area that is smaller than a metropolis but larger than a village. The word emphasizes the communal and structured nature of such settlements, often enclosed by walls for protection.Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, cities were central to the social, economic, and religious life of the people. They served as hubs for trade, governance, and worship. Cities were often fortified with walls and gates, providing security against invaders. The city was a place where people gathered for festivals, legal matters, and communal activities. The concept of a city in biblical times also carried spiritual significance, as cities like Jerusalem were seen as places where God's presence dwelt.NAS Exhaustive ConcordanceWord Origin(Aramaic) corresponding to qiryahDefinitiona cityNASB Translationcity (9).Brown-Driver-Briggs קִרְ×Ö¸×, ×Ö¸Ö¯, noun feminine city (áµ7 Syriac; S-CA 9 + קר××; see Biblical Hebrew, â קר×; also NöBeitr. 62); â absolute ×Ö¸Ö¯ Ezra 4:10, ×Ö¸Ö¯ Ezra 4:15; emphatic קִרְ×Ö°×ªÖ¸× Ezra 4:12; Ezra 4:13; Ezra 4:15; Ezra 4:15; Ezra 4:16; Ezra 4:19; Ezra 4:21 Strong's Exhaustive Concordancecity (Aramaic) or qiryah (Aramaic) {keer-yaw'}; corresponding to qiryah -- city. see HEBREW qiryah Forms and Transliterations×ְּקִרְ×Ö¸Ö× ×קר×× ×ְקִרְ×Ö°×ªÖ¸Ö¥× ×קר××ª× ×§Ö´×¨Ö°×Ö°×ªÖ¸Ö£× ×§Ö´×¨Ö°×Ö°×ªÖ¸Ö¥× ×§Ö´×¨Ö°×Ö°×ªÖ¸Ö¨× ×§Ö´×¨Ö°×Ö¸Ö£× ×§×¨×× ×§×¨××ª× bÉ·qir·yÄh bekirYah bÉqiryÄh kirYa kiryeTa qir·yÄ qir·yÉÂ·á¹¯Ä qiryÄ qiryÉá¹¯Ä vekiryeTa wÉ·qir·yÉÂ·á¹¯Ä wÉqiryÉṯÄLinksInterlinear Greek ⢠Interlinear Hebrew ⢠Strong's Numbers ⢠Englishman's Greek Concordance ⢠Englishman's Hebrew Concordance ⢠Parallel Texts
