Thayer's Greek Lexicon STRONGS NT 4237: πρασιάπρασιά, πρασιας, ἡ, a plot of ground, a garden-bed, Homer, Odyssey 7, 127; 24, 247; Theophrastus, hist. plant. 4, 4, 3; Nicander, Dioscorides ( Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "πράσον" (práson), meaning "leek" or "vegetable."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for πρασιά, the concept of orderly arrangement or grouping can be related to Hebrew terms that describe divisions or sections, such as מַחֲנֶה (machaneh • Strong's Hebrew 4264), meaning "camp" or "encampment," which also conveys a sense of organized grouping. Usage: The term πρασιά is used in the New Testament to describe the orderly arrangement of people, specifically in the context of the feeding of the five thousand, where the crowd was organized into groups. Context: The Greek term πρασιά appears in the New Testament in the context of the miraculous feeding of the five thousand, as recorded in the Gospel of Mark. In Mark 6:39-40 (BSB), Jesus instructs His disciples to have the people sit down in groups on the green grass. The text states: "Then Jesus directed them to have the people sit in groups on the green grass. So they sat down in groups of hundreds and fifties." The use of πρασιά here emphasizes the orderly arrangement of the crowd, akin to rows or plots, which facilitated the distribution of food. This organization not only reflects a practical approach to managing a large gathering but also symbolizes the structured provision and care of God for His people. The imagery of garden plots may also evoke the idea of nourishment and growth, aligning with the theme of divine sustenance.
