Strong's Lexicon beriach: Bar, bolt Original Word: בְּרִיחַ Word Origin: From the root בָּרַח (barach), meaning "to flee" or "to go through." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "beriach," the concept of a bar or bolt can be related to Greek terms like "κλείς" (kleis), meaning "key" or "bolt," as seen in passages like Matthew 16:19. Usage: The Hebrew word "beriach" primarily refers to a bar or bolt used for securing doors or gates. It is often used in the context of the tabernacle and temple, where it describes the bars that held the structure together. The term conveys the idea of strength, security, and stability. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the tabernacle was a central place of worship and represented God's presence among His people. The use of bars (beriach) in its construction was crucial for maintaining the integrity and security of the sacred space. The bars were typically made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold, signifying both durability and divine glory. This construction method reflects the importance of order and protection in the worship of Yahweh.
