I. ארך (√ of following; Biblical Hebrew [ אָרַךְ, אָרֵךְ]). Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of prolonging or extending, as expressed by אָרַךְ (ʾāraḵ), can be related to several Greek terms in the Septuagint and New Testament. While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence, similar ideas can be found in Greek words such as μακροθυμέω (makrothymeō, Strong's Greek 3114), meaning "to be patient" or "to be long-suffering," and μακροχρόνιος (makrochronios, Strong's Greek 3115), meaning "long-lasting" or "enduring." These Greek terms capture the essence of extending time or patience, akin to the Hebrew concept of אָרַךְ. Usage: The verb אָרַךְ (ʾāraḵ) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the idea of lengthening or prolonging, whether in terms of time, physical dimensions, or patience. It is often used in contexts where something is extended or drawn out. Context: The Hebrew verb אָרַךְ (ʾāraḵ) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, primarily conveying the notion of extending or prolonging. It is used both literally and metaphorically. For instance, in Genesis 26:8, it describes the passage of time: "When Isaac had been there a long time, Abimelech king of the Philistines looked down from a window and saw Isaac caressing his wife Rebekah." Here, the verb indicates an extended period. In a metaphorical sense, it is used in Exodus 34:6, where God is described as "slow to anger," indicating patience or forbearance: "The LORD passed in front of Moses, proclaiming, 'The LORD, the LORD God, is compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loving devotion and truth.'" The verb is also used in the context of physical dimensions, as in Ezekiel 31:5, where it describes the growth of a tree: "So it towered higher than all the trees of the field; its boughs increased and its branches grew long, because of the abundant waters as it spread them out." The usage of אָרַךְ (ʾāraḵ) thus spans a range of applications, from the literal extension of time or physical objects to the figurative extension of divine attributes such as patience.
