Strong's Lexicon rohab: Width, breadth, expanse Original Word: רֹהָב Word Origin: Derived from the root רָחַב (rachab), which means "to be or grow wide, large, or spacious." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - πλάτος (platos) - Strong's Greek 4114: This Greek term also refers to width or breadth and is used in the New Testament to describe physical dimensions and metaphorically to express the vastness of God's love (Ephesians 3:18). Usage: The Hebrew word "rohab" primarily denotes physical dimensions, specifically the width or breadth of an object or space. It is often used in the context of describing the dimensions of structures, land, or other physical entities. The term can also metaphorically imply a sense of largeness or expansiveness, reflecting abundance or greatness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, measurements were crucial for various aspects of daily life, including construction, agriculture, and trade. The concept of "rohab" would have been significant in the context of building projects, such as the construction of the Tabernacle or Solomon's Temple, where precise dimensions were essential. The idea of breadth also carried symbolic meanings, often associated with God's provision and the vastness of His creation.
