Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb אָגַף (agaf), which means to cover or to surround. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew term אַגָּף, the concept of military divisions or wings can be related to Greek terms such as πτέρυξ (pteryx), meaning "wing," or στρατιά (stratia), meaning "army" or "host," which convey similar ideas of organized military forces. Usage: The word אַגָּף is used in the context of military formations, particularly in describing the arrangement of troops in battle. It conveys the idea of organized groups or divisions within an army, akin to the wings of a bird, which provide balance and maneuverability. Context: The Hebrew term אַגָּף (aggaf) appears in the context of military strategy and organization. In ancient warfare, armies were often divided into sections or "wings" to facilitate coordinated movements and effective combat strategies. The use of the term in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of structure and order within military operations. The concept of "wings" in an army highlights the tactical advantage of having multiple divisions that can operate independently yet cohesively, allowing for flanking maneuvers and encirclement of the enemy. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to illustrate the might and organization of military forces, emphasizing the disciplined and strategic nature of ancient armies. The imagery of "wings" suggests not only the physical arrangement of troops but also the broader concept of protection and strength, as wings provide both cover and the ability to strike swiftly.
