Berean Strong's Lexicon aremah: Heap, Pile Original Word: עֲרֵמָה Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרַם (aram), meaning "to heap up" or "to gather." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "aremah," the concept of a heap or pile can be related to Greek words like σωρός (soros), meaning "heap" or "pile." Usage: The Hebrew word "aremah" refers to a heap or pile, often used in the context of agricultural produce such as grain. It signifies a collection or gathering of items into a mound or stack, typically for storage or processing. In the biblical context, it often denotes abundance and provision, as heaps of grain were a sign of a successful harvest. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and economy. The gathering of crops into heaps was a common practice during the harvest season. These heaps were not only practical for storage but also symbolized God's blessing and provision. The imagery of heaps of grain is often associated with prosperity and divine favor in the Old Testament.
