Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb עָרַךְ (arak), which means "to arrange" or "to set in order." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for מַעֲרָךְ, the concept of arrangement and order can be related to Greek terms such as τάξις (taxis, Strong's Greek 5010), which means "order" or "arrangement," and διάταξις (diataxis, Strong's Greek 1296), meaning "disposition" or "arrangement." This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term מַעֲרָךְ, highlighting its significance in biblical texts and its implications for worship and spiritual readiness. Usage: The word מַעֲרָךְ is used in the context of arranging or setting things in order, often in a ceremonial or ritualistic sense. It can also refer to the mental or emotional state of an individual. Context: • מַעֲרָךְ appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that emphasize order and arrangement. It is often associated with the arrangement of items, such as the showbread on the table in the Tabernacle or Temple. This term underscores the importance of orderliness and preparation in worship and service to God. • In 1 Chronicles 9:32, מַעֲרָךְ is used to describe the arrangement of the showbread: "Some of their relatives from the Kohathites were responsible for preparing the rows of the showbread every Sabbath." • The concept of מַעֲרָךְ extends beyond physical arrangement to include the mental and spiritual disposition required for worship and service. It suggests a state of readiness and intentionality in one's approach to God. • The use of מַעֲרָךְ in the Hebrew Bible reflects a broader theological theme of divine order and the human response to it. The arrangement of sacred objects and the disposition of the heart are both seen as integral to proper worship.
