Strong's Lexicon migbaloth: Boundaries, borders Original Word: מִגְבָּלָה Word Origin: Derived from the root גָּבַל (gabal), meaning "to bound" or "to border." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concept can be found in terms like ὅριον (horion), meaning "boundary" or "border," as seen in the New Testament in passages such as Matthew 4:13 and Mark 7:24. Usage: The term "migbaloth" refers to the physical boundaries or borders of a land or territory. It is used in the context of defining the limits of a particular area, often in relation to the land allotted to the tribes of Israel. The concept of boundaries is significant in the Hebrew Bible, as it relates to the division of the Promised Land among the tribes and the establishment of order and identity within the nation of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, boundaries were crucial for defining tribal territories and ensuring the fair distribution of land, which was considered a divine inheritance. The establishment of boundaries was not only a practical matter but also a spiritual one, as it reflected God's covenant promises to the patriarchs. The delineation of land was often marked by natural landmarks or constructed markers, and maintaining these boundaries was essential for peace and justice within the community.
