Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Mekonah, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a location in the Old Testament. Greek translations of the Hebrew Bible, such as the Septuagint, may use transliterations or equivalent terms for geographical names, but these are not typically cataloged in Strong's Greek lexicon.

Usage: The term Mekonah appears in the context of a geographical location in the Old Testament. It is mentioned in the list of towns whose inhabitants returned from the Babylonian exile.

Context: Mekonah is identified as a town in the region of Judah, mentioned in the post-exilic period. It is listed among the settlements whose people returned with Zerubbabel from Babylonian captivity. The reference to Mekonah is found in Nehemiah 11:28, where it is included in the enumeration of towns and villages that were re-inhabited by the returning exiles. The exact location of Mekonah is not definitively known today, and it is not frequently mentioned in other historical or biblical records. The name Mekonah, derived from the root meaning "to be firm or established," may imply a place that was once well-founded or significant in its time.
