Strong's Lexicon rokes: Fastener, clasp Original Word: רֹכֶס Word Origin: Derived from the root רָכַס (rakhas), which means "to bind" or "to fasten." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "rokes," related concepts of binding and fastening can be found in Greek terms such as δεσμός (desmos - bond, chain) and ζώνη (zone - belt, girdle). Usage: The term "rokes" refers to a fastener or clasp, often used in the context of clothing or armor. It signifies something that holds parts together securely, ensuring that garments or protective gear remain in place. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, clothing and armor were essential for daily life and warfare. Fasteners or clasps were crucial for securing garments, especially those worn by priests or soldiers. The use of such fasteners would have been common in the construction of the high priest's ephod or in the assembly of armor, reflecting the importance of order and preparedness in both religious and military contexts.
