Strong's Lexicon arah: To uncover, to expose, to bare Original Word: עָרָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of uncovering or revealing can be related to Greek words like "ἀποκαλύπτω" (apokalypto - Strong's Greek 601), which means to reveal or uncover. Usage: The Hebrew verb "arah" primarily means to uncover or expose. It is often used in contexts where something hidden is revealed or laid bare. This can refer to physical uncovering, such as removing a covering from an object, or metaphorical exposure, such as revealing intentions or plans. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the act of uncovering or exposing was significant both in physical and metaphorical senses. Clothing and coverings were not only practical but also symbolic of status, modesty, and protection. To uncover something could imply vulnerability or shame, but it could also mean revelation and truth. The concept of uncovering is deeply tied to the ideas of purity, honor, and the divine revelation of hidden truths.
