Berean Strong's Lexicon machbereth: Scroll, book, or writing Original Word: מַחְבֶּרֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root חָבַר (chabar), meaning "to join" or "to bind together." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is βιβλίον (biblion), Strong's Greek #975, which also refers to a book or scroll. Usage: The term "machbereth" refers to a collection of writings or a scroll. It is used to describe a physical object that contains written records, often of significant importance. In the context of ancient Israel, such scrolls were crucial for preserving religious, legal, and historical documents. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, writing was a revered skill, and scrolls were the primary medium for recording important texts. These scrolls were made from papyrus or parchment and were used to document religious laws, historical events, and prophetic messages. The process of creating a scroll was labor-intensive, involving the preparation of writing materials, the careful transcription of texts, and the preservation of these documents for future generations. Scrolls played a vital role in the religious and cultural life of the Israelites, serving as the primary means of transmitting God's laws and teachings.
