Topical Lexicon Word Origin: The term κράβαττος is of uncertain origin, but it is believed to be a loanword from a Semitic language, possibly Aramaic or Hebrew.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for κράβαττος, similar concepts can be found in the Hebrew Bible, where terms like מִשְׁכָּב (mishkav, Strong's Hebrew 4904) are used to denote a bed or place of lying down. These terms similarly convey the idea of a resting place or sleeping mat, though they are not directly linked to the Greek κράβαττος. Usage: The word κράβαττος is used in the New Testament to describe the mats or pallets on which individuals, particularly those who were sick or paralyzed, were laid. It is mentioned in contexts where individuals are healed and instructed to take up their beds and walk. Context: The term κράβαττος appears in several New Testament passages, primarily in the Gospels, where it is associated with miraculous healings performed by Jesus. In Mark 2:4, a paralytic is lowered through the roof on a κράβαττος to reach Jesus, who then heals him, saying, "I tell you, get up, pick up your mat, and go home" (Mark 2:11, BSB). Similarly, in John 5:8, Jesus commands a man who had been an invalid for thirty-eight years, "Get up, pick up your mat, and walk" (BSB). The use of κράβαττος in these narratives highlights the transformative power of Jesus' healing, as the once-immobile individuals are now able to carry the very objects that symbolized their previous state of infirmity.
