Strong's Lexicon apothéké: Storehouse, barn, granary Original Word: ἀποθήκη Word Origin: From the Greek verb ἀποτίθημι (apotithēmi), meaning "to put away" or "to store." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H214 (אָצוּר, 'atsur): Storehouse, treasure - H6187 (אוֹצָר, 'otsar): Treasure, storehouse Usage: The term "apothéké" refers to a place where goods, particularly grain or other agricultural produce, are stored. It is used in the New Testament to describe physical storehouses or barns where crops are kept after harvest. The word conveys the idea of storage and provision, often implying abundance and preparation for future needs. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient agrarian societies, storehouses were essential for preserving food supplies. They were critical for survival, especially in times of famine or poor harvests. The concept of a storehouse also carried spiritual connotations, as it was often used metaphorically to describe the storing up of spiritual treasures or the preparation for eternal life.
