Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for מַתְבֵּן in the Strong's Concordance, as the concept of straw storage is more culturally specific to the Hebrew context. However, related Greek terms might include those associated with agriculture or construction, such as στέγη (stegē, "roof" or "covering") or ἄχυρον (achyron, "chaff" or "straw"), though these do not directly correspond to the concept of a straw heap.

Usage: The term מַתְבֵּן is used in the context of storing straw, often in relation to agricultural practices or construction materials in ancient times.

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.
