Berean Strong's Lexicon maarakah: Battle line, row, arrangement, order Original Word: מערכה Word Origin: From the root ערך (arak), meaning "to arrange" or "to set in order." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "maarakah," the concept of military arrangement or order can be related to Greek terms such as τάξις (taxis), meaning "order" or "arrangement," often used in military contexts. Usage: The Hebrew word "maarakah" primarily refers to a formation or arrangement, often used in the context of a military battle line or array. It signifies the organized and strategic placement of troops in preparation for battle. The term can also refer to any orderly arrangement or setting, such as the arrangement of the showbread in the Tabernacle. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, military organization was crucial for defense and warfare. The concept of a "maarakah" reflects the importance of strategy and order in battle. The Israelites, like other ancient Near Eastern cultures, placed great emphasis on the arrangement of their forces to maximize effectiveness in combat. Additionally, the orderly arrangement of items in religious contexts, such as the showbread in the Tabernacle, underscores the value placed on order and ritual in worship practices.
