Under inspiration from God, I go checking a website where I previously made the discovery that Tell Khaiber, Iraq is named after the biblical Eber, eponym of all Hebrews. Here is where I went: http://www.urarchaeology.org/in-the-news/.
I have previously done a couple of articles regarding Tell Khaiber, specifically linking it to King Eber, ancestor of the biblical Abraham. I click on the last link at the bottom of the aforementioned web site and that takes me here: http://www.thenational.ae/news/world/middle-east/hidden-depths-of-iraq-and-mankinds-majestic-past.
The name Jabal Hamrin jumps out at me. I put that into Bing and hit enter. Some links appear regarding Jabal Hamrin including one called Beth Garmai found in Wikipedia. After a bit of thinking and God talking to me, telling me to remember Tell Khaiber, and how the name of it is translated "hill of Eber," eponymous ancestor of all Hebrews, especially the Israelites, I realize that Beth Garmai, spelled Garamaea in Greek, means 'house of the land of Aram.' Aram is the fifth son of Shem, from which we get the words Semite and Semitism. (Sem is the Greek spelling of Shem.)(1)(2)
Beth Garmai is a historical district around the city of Kirkuk, which is located 147 miles north of Baghdad. It can be found southeast of the Little Zab (pronounced Zaib) river, southwest of the mountains of Shahrazur, and northeast of the Tigris and Jabal Hamrin.(3)
As the name would seem to imply, Beth Garamaea (Beth Garmai and Garmakan(4)) was the seat of Aram's power. The names of Aram's sons (women are not usually mentioned unless they stand out for a particular reason; that, and bloodlines are typically traced through male and not female DNA) are Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash.(1; see verse 23) His kingdom appears to have been taken over by Eber, one of Aram's nephews through his eldest brother, Arphaxad, as Aram's kingdom appears in the middle of Eber's kingdom as it was in Iraq (ancient Sumeria/Mesopotamia).
In gathering information on Aram's descendants we must look at the meanings of the names of his children. Names were very important in old times, as they represented a person's character. Uz, therefore, in Hebrew means a "deep contemplation on reality and justice."(5) It is likely, then, that Uz, and his descendants, served as some form of judge or professional counsellor, as did the ancient Israelite tribe of Dan.(6)(7)
Hul represents a circular or writhing motion.(8) As used in religion, it would denote temple worship of a particular deity or deities, often sexual in nature and perhaps serpentine. This brings to mind images of women dancing erotically before kings and other exalted people, and strip club pole dancers, which is itself an offshoot of pagan fertility dances, the pole representing a man's penis, and the woman's dancing the vagina and movement of the body during orgasm or simulating the sex act. Hul appears to be an early father of part of Nimrod's Babylonian Mystery religion.
Gether appears to to mean 'circle of the winepress.'(9) This would indicate that Gether built walls around his vineyards, possibly to keep out animals and thieves. This practice was done in Israel in the days leading up to, and beyond, Gideon, called Jerubbaal, which defeated the Midianites in battle after that they had taken the children of Israel prisoner.(10) A picture of an ancient Israelite winepress can be see at the reference link numbered here.(11)
Mash means 'to spread a liquid.'(12) It is a root word, and is used in the Hebrew words 'mush' meaning 'depart, remove', indicating a going forth from the source, and 'mashiah', or messiah, as in Jesus Christ, God's "anointed," which draws us out of our sin and into his righteousness. Given this, Mash appears to have been an apothecary(13)(14), one that draws liquids out of plants and such in order to prepare them for use in medicine, perfumes, or religious worship. This would have made him very popular in his day, and very rich.
