Strong's Lexicon rabad: To spread, to make a bed, to arrange Original Word: רָבַד Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "rabad," the concept of preparing or arranging can be seen in Greek words such as "στρώννυμι" (strōnnumi), which means to spread or to make ready, often used in the context of preparing a table or a bed. Usage: The Hebrew verb "rabad" primarily means to spread out or arrange, often in the context of preparing a bed or laying out a covering. It conveys the action of making something ready or setting it in order, typically for rest or habitation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the preparation of a bed or a place for rest was a significant daily activity. The act of spreading out a mat or bedding was not only practical but also held cultural significance, as it was often associated with hospitality and care. In a nomadic or semi-nomadic lifestyle, where people frequently moved and set up temporary dwellings, the ability to quickly and efficiently prepare a place for rest was essential.
