קְרִיּוֹת: n.pr.loc. [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/tanakh/1511/7152/#m2)

**The whole BDB entry:** n.pr.loc. (formed as pl. intens. from קִרְיָה?);— in Judah Jos 15:25 (αἱ πόλεις; whence, as supposed, Judas אִישׁ קְרִיּוֹת), perhaps Ḳaryatên, c. 12 m. S. of Hebron, BuhlGeogr. 182. in Moab, Καριωθ, αἱ πόλεις; MI13 קרית: Je 48:24, הַקּ׳ v 41 Am 2:2; perhaps = Ραββαθ Μωαβ = Μοαβ = Αρεοπολις (Euseb., v. LagOnom. 227, 60 al.), mod. Rabba, c. 11 m. S. of Arnon, cf. BuhlGeogr. 270.

Why these entries: BDB: headword, part of speech agrees, 3 of its verses cited, 0 words shared with the glosses, lists its Strong's number (5 candidates); OSHB: headword, part of speech agrees, 0 words shared with the BDB entry, 1 with the glosses (2 candidates)
