Strong's Lexicon aron: Ark, chest, coffin Original Word: אָרוֹן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root probably meaning to gather. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2787 (κιβωτός, kibōtos): Used in the New Testament to refer to the Ark of the Covenant and Noah's Ark. Usage: The Hebrew word "aron" primarily refers to a chest or box. In the biblical context, it is most famously used to denote the Ark of the Covenant, a sacred chest that held the tablets of the Ten Commandments, Aaron's rod, and a pot of manna. It is also used to describe a coffin, as in the case of Joseph's coffin in Egypt. Cultural and Historical Background: The Ark of the Covenant was central to Israelite worship and represented God's presence among His people. It was constructed according to divine specifications given to Moses on Mount Sinai (Exodus 25:10-22). The Ark was housed in the Holy of Holies within the Tabernacle and later the Temple, and it played a crucial role in various events, such as the crossing of the Jordan River and the fall of Jericho. The Ark symbolized God's covenant with Israel and His guidance and protection.
