Strong's Lexicon qereb: midst, inner part, inward part, among, within Original Word: קֶרֶב Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to approach or come near Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3319 (μέσος, mesos): Often translated as "midst" or "middle," used in similar contexts in the New Testament to denote being among or within. Usage: The Hebrew word "qereb" primarily denotes the inner part or midst of something. It is often used to describe the innermost parts of a person, such as the heart or soul, and can also refer to the physical center or interior of a group or object. In a broader sense, it can mean "among" or "within," indicating presence or inclusion within a group or community. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of the "inner part" or "midst" was significant both physically and spiritually. The heart or inner being was considered the seat of emotions, thoughts, and will. The idea of being "in the midst" of a community or group also carried connotations of belonging and participation. The Israelites often understood their relationship with God as one where He dwelled "in their midst," signifying His presence and guidance.
