Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4732 (στερεόω, stereoō): This Greek term is related in the sense of making firm or solid, often used metaphorically in the New Testament to describe strengthening or establishing. While not a direct translation, it shares the concept of creating a firm or expansive structure, akin to the spreading or overlaying actions described by רָקַע. Usage: • The verb רָקַע is used in the context of spreading out or overlaying, often with reference to the earth or metals. It conveys the action of flattening or expanding a surface. Context: • רָקַע appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often associated with the act of spreading or overlaying. In Exodus 39:3, it describes the process of hammering gold into thin sheets to overlay the garments of the high priest: "They hammered out thin sheets of gold and cut threads to be worked into the blue, purple, and scarlet yarn, and into fine linen, the work of a skilled craftsman." This illustrates the meticulous and skilled nature of the action, emphasizing the transformation of raw material into something refined and expansive.
