Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּבַר (dabar), meaning "to speak" or "to arrange."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term for "debir" is ναός (naos), Strong's Greek Number G3485. This term is used in the New Testament to refer to the temple or sanctuary, particularly the inner sanctuary where God's presence is believed to dwell. The concept of the naos in the New Testament often extends to the spiritual temple, representing the body of believers as the dwelling place of the Holy Spirit. Usage: The word "debir" is used in the context of the temple or tabernacle, denoting the most sacred area, the Holy of Holies. It is a place of divine presence and communication, where only the high priest could enter once a year on the Day of Atonement. Context: The term "debir" is primarily associated with the innermost sanctuary of the temple, known as the Holy of Holies. This sacred space was the most revered part of the temple, symbolizing the dwelling place of God among His people. In the Solomonic Temple, the debir housed the Ark of the Covenant, which contained the tablets of the Law given to Moses. The construction of the debir is described in 1 Kings 6:19-28, where it is depicted as a perfect cube, overlaid with gold, and separated from the Holy Place by a veil. The debir was a place of profound holiness, emphasizing the transcendence and immanence of God. The high priest's annual entry into the debir on Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) was a significant ritual, symbolizing atonement and reconciliation between God and His people. The concept of the debir underscores the centrality of divine presence and communication in the worship and religious life of Israel.
