How translations render this word
Counts come from each version’s own published word-to-Strong’s tagging or interlinear alignment — an approximate guide to how each version renders this word, not a word-level alignment the data otherwise carries. Because each total is that version’s own tagged count, the per-version totals vary from one another and need not match the appearance or distinct-verse counts above. These counts may also differ from a printed concordance because Lemma counts each distinctly tagged rendering and does not collapse phrase taggings into a single head-word total. This is a fixed set of word-tagged versions (KJV, ASV, BSB, ULT) and does not change with the reading translation you choose elsewhere. Each version’s license is shown beside its name below (and on Sources).

Jastrow Dictionary
A second Hebrew/Aramaic lexicon for comparison, covering Aramaic and post-biblical (Talmudic, Targumic, Midrashic) usage that the biblical-Hebrew BDB does not. Matched by lemma rather than by Strong’s number, so a lemma may carry more than one Jastrow headword (shown separately below), and the entries cover usage well beyond the Bible.
יָרַשׁ
- (b. h.) [to enter into, take the place of,] to conquer; to take possession, to succeed, inherit. Gen. R. s. 11, end י׳ את העולם במדה had his worldly share assigned to him with limitation. Gen. R. s. 44 ליוֹרְשֵׁנִי to be my heir. B. Bath. VIII, 5 איש … לא יִירַשׁ וכ׳ this man, my son, shall not be an heir with the rest of his brothers. Ib. בתי תִירָֹשֵנִי my daughter shall be my heiress. Ib. ראוי ליוֹרְשׁוֹ entitled to succeed him. Ib. IX, 1 (139ᵇ) הבנים יִירְשׁוּ (Bab. ed. יֵרְשׁוּ) the sons take possession of the estate; a. fr.—V. יוֹרֵשׁ.
- 1. to cause to inherit, to leave by will or by the law of succession; to transmit. Ib. 119ᵇ מוֹרִישִׁין ואינן יורשין they shall leave (the Holy Land to their children) but shall not take possession themselves. Shebu. 47ᵃ אין אדם מוֹרִישׁ שבועה לבניו a man cannot transmit an oath to his sons, i.e. property to be obtained only by the claimant’s oath cannot be claimed by his heirs. Keth. 43ᵃ; Kidd. 16ᵇ אין אדם מוריש זכות בתו וכ׳ a man cannot bequeathe his daughter’s privileges to his sons. B. Bath. IX, 8 if the house fell עליו ועל מוֹרִישָׁיו over himself (the heir) and his ancestors; a. fr.

Septuagint verse parallels
This word appears in 193 verses that also exist in the Greek Old Testament (Septuagint), out of the 204 Hebrew verses it occurs in. You can read those verses in Greek by switching the Old Testament edition to the Septuagint.
Read these verses in the Septuagint
- Genesis 15:3
- Exodus 15:9
- Leviticus 20:24
- Numbers 13:30
- Deuteronomy 1:8
- Joshua 1:11
- Judges 1:19
- 1 Samuel 2:7
- 2 Samuel 14:7
- 1 Kings 21:15
- 2 Kings 16:3
- 1 Chronicles 28:8
This is a verse-level parallel only — the same verses exist in both the Hebrew and Greek Old Testaments. No word-level Hebrew↔Greek correspondence is claimed: the data carries no such alignment, so no Greek word is shown as this Hebrew word’s translation. Coverage is not total — the Septuagint omits the deuterocanon and renumbers the Psalms, so some Hebrew verses have no direct Greek parallel.
