Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3619 (οἰκοδομή, oikodomē) - Refers to building or edification, used in the New Testament to describe both physical structures and the spiritual building up of the church. Usage: The Hebrew word "binyan" refers to a physical structure or building. It is used in the context of construction and architecture, often highlighting the act of building or the result of such an activity. In the biblical context, it can refer to both literal and metaphorical constructions, such as the building of the Temple or the establishment of a family or dynasty. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, building was a significant activity, reflecting both practical needs and spiritual aspirations. Structures like the Temple in Jerusalem were not only architectural feats but also central to religious life.

The act of building was often seen as a partnership with God, who is described as the ultimate builder and architect of creation.
