◄ 6161. arubbah ►
Strong's Lexicon arubbah: Window, lattice, sluice Original Word: אֲרֻבָּה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: arubbah Pronunciation: ah-roo-BAH Phonetic Spelling: (ar-oob-baw') Definition: Window, lattice, sluice Meaning: something given as security, a token, a bondsman Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to lurk or to lie in wait. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, but the concept of divine provision or judgment from heaven can be related to Greek words like "ouranos" (οὐρανός - G3772), meaning "heaven." Usage: The Hebrew word "arubbah" primarily refers to an opening or aperture, often translated as "window" or "lattice" in English. It is used in the context of architectural features that allow light and air to enter a building, or metaphorically, as a channel through which blessings or judgments are poured out from heaven. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern architecture, windows were not just functional but also symbolic. They were often small openings high on walls, providing ventilation and light while maintaining privacy and security. In a biblical context, "arubbah" is sometimes used metaphorically to describe the heavens as a source of divine provision or judgment, reflecting the belief that God controls the natural and spiritual realms.
