However, related themes of repair and restoration can be found in Greek terms such as καταρτίζω (katartizō • Strong's Greek 2675), which means "to mend" or "to restore." Usage: The word בֶּדֶק is used in the context of physical structures, particularly in reference to the temple or other buildings, indicating a need for repair or maintenance due to a gap or leak. Context: בֶּדֶק (bedek) appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts related to the maintenance and repair of sacred structures. It is notably used in 2 Kings 12:5-12 and 2 Chronicles 24:7-12, where it describes the repairs needed for the temple. The term highlights the physical deterioration that can occur over time, necessitating restoration efforts to maintain the integrity and sanctity of the building. In these passages, the priests are instructed to collect funds to address the בֶּדֶק, ensuring that the temple remains a fitting place for worship. The concept of בֶּדֶק underscores the importance of vigilance and care in preserving what is sacred, reflecting a broader theological theme of restoration and renewal.
