Berean Strong's Lexicon erek: Value, estimation, order Original Word: ערך Word Origin: Derived from the root verb ערך (arak), meaning "to arrange" or "to set in order." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of valuation or estimation in the New Testament can be related to Greek words such as τιμή (timē - Strong's Greek 5092), meaning "honor" or "value." Usage: The Hebrew word "erek" primarily refers to the concept of value or estimation, often in the context of assessing the worth of something, particularly in terms of offerings or vows made to God. It can also imply the arrangement or order of things, reflecting a sense of organization or structure. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "erek" was significant in the context of religious and societal practices. The valuation of offerings, vows, and even people (in terms of their service or dedication to the temple) was a common practice. This valuation was often determined by the priests and was based on specific guidelines provided in the Mosaic Law. The idea of order and arrangement was also crucial in the context of temple worship and the organization of the Israelite community.
