Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew word עֻמָּה (Ummah), as it is a specific proper noun referring to a location within the Hebrew Bible and does not have a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament or Septuagint.

Usage: The term "Ummah" appears in the context of a geographical location within the tribal allotments of the land of Israel. It is mentioned in the Old Testament as part of the inheritance of the tribe of Asher.

Context: Ummah is identified as a town located in the region allocated to the tribe of Asher, as recorded in the Book of Joshua. The specific mention of Ummah is found in Joshua 19:30, where it is listed among other towns within Asher's territory. The exact location of Ummah is not definitively known today, and it is not frequently mentioned in biblical texts, suggesting it may have been a smaller or less significant settlement compared to other cities in the region. The historical and archaeological details about Ummah remain limited, and its significance is primarily tied to its inclusion in the tribal boundaries described in the conquest narratives of the Old Testament.
