Strong's Lexicon rochab: Width, breadth, expanse Original Word: רֹחַב Word Origin: 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 is used in the New Testament to denote width or breadth, similar to the Hebrew "rochab." Usage: The Hebrew word "rochab" primarily denotes physical dimensions, specifically the width or breadth of an object or space. It is used in the Bible to describe the physical expanse of land, structures, or objects. The term can also metaphorically imply abundance or a broad scope in a non-physical sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, measurements of width and breadth were crucial for various aspects of daily life, including construction, agriculture, and territorial boundaries. The concept of "rochab" would have been significant in a society where land and space were directly tied to wealth, security, and divine blessing. The breadth of land, for instance, was often seen as a sign of God's provision and favor.
