Usage: The term "prasia" is used in the New Testament to describe an orderly arrangement or grouping, particularly in the context of people being organized into groups or rows. It conveys the idea of structured organization, often for the purpose of facilitating an activity or event. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient world, particularly in Jewish and Greco-Roman contexts, organizing people into groups was a common practice for managing large crowds.
