Strong's Lexicon orek: Length Original Word: אֹרֶךְ Word Origin: Derived from the root אָרַךְ (arak), which means "to be long" or "to prolong." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3117 (makrothumia) - often translated as "longsuffering" or "patience," reflecting an extended period of endurance. - G3118 (makrochronios) - meaning "long-lived" or "of long duration." Usage: The Hebrew word "orek" primarily denotes "length" in a physical or metaphorical sense. It is used to describe the physical dimensions of objects, such as the length of a structure or garment, as well as metaphorical extensions, such as the length of life or days. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "length" was often associated with prosperity, blessing, and divine favor. A long life was considered a sign of God's blessing and was often linked to obedience to God's commandments. The physical dimensions of sacred spaces, such as the Tabernacle or Temple, were also significant, reflecting divine order and perfection.
