Cl. cxvi (1888), 659 f.). Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb עָרַךְ (arak), meaning "to arrange" or "to set in order." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent of the concept of arrangement, particularly in a divine or predestined sense, can be found in Strong's Greek Number G4286, πρόθεσις (prothesis). This term is used in the New Testament to refer to God's purpose or plan, as well as the showbread in the temple (e.g., Hebrews 9:2). The connection between מַעֲרֶכֶת and πρόθεσις highlights the continuity of the theme of divine order and purpose from the Old Testament to the New Testament. Usage: The word מַעֲרֶכֶת appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts related to the arrangement of items, most notably the showbread. It is used to describe the orderly setting of the twelve loaves of bread on the table in the holy place, as prescribed in the Mosaic Law. Context: מַעֲרֶכֶת is a noun that appears in the context of religious rituals and temple practices. It is most frequently associated with the "showbread" or "bread of the Presence," which was a significant element of the tabernacle and later the temple service. According to Levitical law, twelve loaves of bread were to be arranged in two rows or piles on the table of showbread every Sabbath as a perpetual offering before the Lord (Leviticus 24:5-8). This bread symbolized the covenant between God and Israel, representing God's provision and the people's dedication to Him. The term underscores the importance of order and ritual in worship practices, reflecting the structured nature of Israelite religious life.
