Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb גָּרַשׁ (garash), meaning "to drive out" or "to cast out." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G873 (ἀφορίζω, aphorizo): To set apart, separate, or designate, often used in the context of separating spaces or people for specific purposes. • G1292 (διαχωρίζω, diachorizo): To divide or separate, similar in concept to the allocation of migrash as distinct areas. • G2697 (κατασκευάζω, kataskeuazo): To prepare or construct, which can relate to the preparation of lands or spaces for habitation or use. • G4066 (περίχωρος, perichoros): Surrounding region or district, akin to the suburbs or surrounding areas described by migrash. The concept of "migrash" in the Hebrew Bible highlights the practical and spiritual considerations in the allocation of land, ensuring that the Levites, as religious leaders, had the necessary resources to fulfill their duties while maintaining a connection to the broader community. Usage: The word "migrash" appears in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, primarily in reference to the open lands or suburbs surrounding Levitical cities. It is used to describe the pasturelands allocated to the Levites for their livestock and other needs. Context: • The term "migrash" is frequently mentioned in the context of the Levitical cities, as seen in passages such as Numbers 35:2-3, where the Israelites are instructed to give the Levites cities to dwell in, along with surrounding pasturelands (migrash) for their cattle and flocks. This allocation was essential for the sustenance of the Levites, who did not receive a territorial inheritance like the other tribes. • In Joshua 21:11-12, the migrash is again highlighted as part of the cities given to the Levites, emphasizing its role as a necessary provision for their livelihood. • The concept of migrash underscores the importance of designated spaces for community and religious functions, reflecting the structured organization of ancient Israelite society. • The migrash also serves as a buffer zone, providing a transition between urban and rural areas, and ensuring that cities were not overcrowded or lacking in resources for agriculture and livestock.
