Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּנָה (banah), meaning "to build."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3619 (οἰκοδομή, oikodomē): Refers to a building or edification, often used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe spiritual growth or the building up of the church.
• G3624 (οἶκος, oikos): Refers to a house or household, encompassing both the physical structure and the family or community within it.

The concept of building, both physically and spiritually, is a recurring theme throughout the Scriptures, emphasizing the importance of a strong foundation and the role of divine guidance in the construction of both tangible and intangible structures.

Usage: The term בִּנְיָה (Binyah) is used in the context of construction or the act of building, often referring to physical structures or edifices.

Context: The Hebrew word בִּנְיָה (Binyah) is rooted in the verb בָּנָה (banah), which means "to build" or "to construct." This term is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe various types of structures, ranging from simple dwellings to more complex edifices. The concept of building is significant in the biblical narrative, symbolizing not only physical construction but also the establishment of families, communities, and nations. The act of building is often associated with divine instruction or blessing, as seen in the construction of the Tabernacle and the Temple, which were built according to God's specific commands. In a broader theological sense, building can also represent the spiritual edification of individuals and communities, as they are "built up" in faith and understanding.
