Strong's Lexicon arach: To arrange, set in order, prepare Original Word: אָרַח Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3903 (paratithemi): To set before, to place beside, often used in the context of setting a table or presenting food. - G5021 (tasso): To arrange, to appoint, often used in the context of ordering or assigning. Usage: The Hebrew verb "arach" primarily means to arrange or set in order. It is often used in contexts where items are organized or prepared, such as setting a table, arranging a battle line, or preparing a sacrifice. The term conveys a sense of intentionality and purpose in the arrangement, reflecting an orderly and thoughtful process. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of order was significant, both in daily life and religious practices. The act of arranging or setting things in order was not merely functional but often carried symbolic meaning. For example, arranging the showbread in the Tabernacle was a ritual act that symbolized God's provision and presence. Similarly, arranging a battle line was a strategic act that demonstrated readiness and discipline. The use of "arach" in these contexts underscores the importance of preparation and order in both sacred and secular activities.
