Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb גָּרַף (garaph), meaning "to sweep away" or "to carry off."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents in the Strong's Concordance that correspond to the specific Hebrew term מִגְרָפָה. However, Greek terms related to earth or soil, such as γῆ (gē, Strong's Greek 1093), may be conceptually related in terms of discussing earth or ground in a broader sense. Usage: The word מִגְרָפָה is used in the context of describing a clod of earth, emphasizing its nature as something that is cast off or separated from the ground. Context: • The Hebrew term מִגְרָפָה appears in the Old Testament to describe a clod, a piece of earth that is detached from the ground. This term is rooted in the action of sweeping or carrying away, which is reflected in its usage to denote something that is separated or thrown off. The imagery of a clod can be symbolic, representing the transient and impermanent nature of earthly things, as clods are easily broken apart and scattered. The term is illustrative of the broader biblical theme of the earth's temporality and the divine power that can reshape and reform it. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to convey the physical and metaphorical aspects of being cast off or removed.
