Berean Strong's Lexicon arok: Long, prolonged Original Word: אֲרוֹךְ Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: arok Pronunciation: ah-roke Phonetic Spelling: (aw-roke') Definition: Long, prolonged Meaning: long Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3114 (makrothumeo): To be long-suffering, patient - G3115 (makrothumia): Long-suffering, patience Usage: The Hebrew word "arok" is used to describe something that is extended in length or duration. It can refer to physical length, such as a long object, or metaphorically to time, indicating a prolonged period. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of length was often associated with endurance, patience, and the idea of something being drawn out over time. The Israelites, living in a land where seasons and agricultural cycles were crucial, understood the importance of prolonged periods, whether in terms of waiting for harvests or enduring trials. The idea of "long" could also be applied to life, as a long life was seen as a blessing from God.
