Strong's Lexicon maarak: Arrangement, setting, row Original Word: מערך Word Origin: Derived from the root verb ערך (arak), meaning "to arrange" or "to set in order." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "maarak," the concept of arrangement can be related to Greek words like τάξις (taxis), meaning "order" or "arrangement," which is used in the New Testament to describe orderliness and proper arrangement. Usage: The Hebrew word "maarak" primarily refers to an arrangement or setting, often used in the context of organizing or setting things in order. It can denote a physical arrangement, such as rows or layers, and is frequently associated with the arrangement of items in a specific order or pattern. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of order and arrangement was significant, especially in religious and ceremonial contexts. The Israelites placed great importance on the proper arrangement of items in the Tabernacle and later in the Temple, reflecting a broader cultural emphasis on order as a reflection of divine order. The arrangement of the showbread on the Table of Showbread in the Tabernacle is one example of this concept in practice.
