Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root רָעָה (ra'ah), which means "to pasture" or "to tend."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint and the New Testament that aligns with the concept of מִרְעִית is G4168 • ποιμνιον (poimnion), which also means "flock." This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe the followers of Christ as His flock, emphasizing the pastoral care and leadership of Jesus as the Good Shepherd. Usage: The word מִרְעִית is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe both the physical location where animals graze and the collective group of animals that are being tended. It emphasizes the provision and care associated with shepherding. Context: מִרְעִית (mir'it) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often highlighting the relationship between a shepherd and his flock. This term underscores the importance of sustenance and guidance provided by the shepherd. In a broader theological sense, it can symbolize God's provision and care for His people, as seen in passages where God is depicted as a shepherd. For example, in Psalm 23:2, the psalmist speaks of being led to "green pastures," illustrating a place of rest and nourishment. The imagery of pasturage is frequently used to convey themes of divine care, guidance, and abundance.
