Berean Strong's Lexicon prasia: Group, Row, Division Original Word: πρασιά Word Origin: Derived from the Greek word "prasinos," meaning "green." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for "prasia," the concept of orderly arrangement can be related to terms like "machaneh" (Strong's Hebrew 4264), meaning "camp" or "encampment," which also implies organization and structure. Usage: The term "prasia" is used in the New Testament to describe an orderly arrangement or grouping, particularly in the context of people being organized into groups or rows. It conveys the idea of structured organization, often for the purpose of facilitating an activity or event. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, particularly in Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts, organizing people into groups was a common practice for managing large crowds. This was especially relevant during public gatherings, feasts, or teaching sessions. The orderly arrangement allowed for efficient distribution of resources or information, reflecting a sense of order and community.
