Context: • מֵי הַיַּרְקוֹן (Me-haj-Jarkon) is mentioned in the context of the territorial boundaries of the tribe of Dan. The name is associated with the Yarkon River, which is a significant watercourse in the region of ancient Israel. The Yarkon River flows westward into the Mediterranean Sea, and its name is thought to be derived from the Hebrew root יָרַק (yarak), meaning "green," likely referring to the lush vegetation along its banks.
• In the Bible, the Yarkon is noted for its strategic importance and its role in delineating tribal territories. The river's fertile surroundings would have been valuable for agriculture and settlement.
• The specific mention of מֵי הַיַּרְקוֹן in the biblical text highlights the importance of water sources in the ancient Near East, where rivers and streams were vital for sustaining life and supporting communities.
