Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Nimrah, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun referring to a geographical location without a direct Greek equivalent in the New Testament.

Usage: Nimrah is used in the context of a geographical location in the Hebrew Bible.

Context: Nimrah is mentioned in the Old Testament as a location east of the Jordan River. It is identified as a city in the territory allotted to the tribe of Gad. The name Nimrah is associated with the region of the Jordan Valley, known for its fertile land and abundant water sources. In Numbers 32:3, the Berean Standard Bible (BSB) mentions Nimrah in the context of the Reubenites and Gadites requesting land for their livestock: "Ataroth, Dibon, Jazer, Nimrah, Heshbon, Elealeh, Sebam, Nebo, and Beon." This passage highlights the strategic importance of Nimrah as part of the pastoral lands desired by these tribes. The location is also referred to as Beth-nimrah in some biblical texts, indicating a possible settlement or town within the broader region of Nimrah.
