Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּרַח (barach), meaning "to flee" or "to go through." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek term in the Septuagint for בְּרִיחַ is often related to the concept of securing or fastening, though a direct equivalent is not always present. In the New Testament, the concept of securing or establishing is captured by the Greek word θεμελιόω (G2311), which means "to lay a foundation" or "to establish." While not a direct translation, the idea of establishing or securing aligns with the function of בְּרִיחַ as a means of providing stability and security. Usage: The term בְּרִיחַ is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a physical bar or bolt that secures doors or gates, often in the context of tabernacle or temple construction, as well as city gates. Context: בְּרִיחַ (beriach) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, primarily associated with the construction and security of sacred and civic structures. In the construction of the Tabernacle, בְּרִיחַ refers to the bars used to hold the frames together, ensuring the stability and security of the sacred space (Exodus 26:26-29). These bars were made of acacia wood and overlaid with gold, signifying their importance and the sanctity of the Tabernacle. The term is also used in the context of city gates, where בְּרִיחַ denotes the bars that secure the gates against intruders, symbolizing protection and strength (1 Kings 4:13). The imagery of a bar or bolt is often metaphorical, representing security, strength, and the impenetrability of fortified places. In poetic and prophetic literature, the breaking or removal of bars signifies vulnerability or divine judgment (Isaiah 45:2). בְּרִיחַ is a tangible representation of security and order, reflecting the ancient Near Eastern emphasis on the protection of sacred and communal spaces. Its use in the Tabernacle underscores the importance of divine presence and the need for a secure, holy environment for worship.
