Context: מַתְבֵּן (matben) refers to a storage place for straw, which was a crucial component in the ancient Near Eastern agricultural and construction practices. Straw was commonly used as fodder for livestock and as a binding material in brick-making. The storage of straw in heaps or barns was essential for maintaining a steady supply for these purposes. In the biblical context, straw is often mentioned in relation to the Israelites' labor in Egypt, where they were required to gather straw for brick-making (Exodus 5:7-18). The term מַתְבֵּן highlights the importance of straw as a resource and the necessity of its proper storage.
