Strong's Lexicon strónnuó: to spread, to make a bed, to lay out Original Word: στρώννυω Word Origin: From a primary verb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with similar actions of spreading or laying out is "פָּרַשׂ" (parash - Strong's Hebrew 6566), which means to spread out or to stretch. Usage: The Greek verb "στρώννυω" (strónnuó) primarily means to spread out or to lay something down, such as a bed or a covering. It conveys the action of arranging or preparing a surface by spreading materials over it. In the New Testament, it is often used in contexts where people spread garments or branches on the road, particularly in the accounts of Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, spreading garments or branches was a customary act of honor and respect, often associated with welcoming a dignitary or king. This practice symbolized submission and reverence, acknowledging the authority and significance of the person being honored. In the Jewish context, such actions were deeply rooted in cultural expressions of hospitality and reverence.
