Kir'iah. Apparently an ancient or archaic word, meaning a city or town. It may be compared to the word "burg" or "bury" in our own language. Closely related to Kiriah is Kereth, apparently a Phoenician form, which occurs occasionally. Job 29:7; Proverbs 8:3. As a proper name, it appears in the Bible under the forms of Kerioth, Kartah, Kartan, besides those immediately following.
