Strong's Lexicon Oreb: Raven Original Word: עֹרֵב Part of Speech: Proper Name Transliteration: Oreb Pronunciation: oh-REV Phonetic Spelling: (o-rabe') Definition: Raven Meaning: Oreb Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרַב (arab), meaning "to grow dark" or "to become evening." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2871 (korax): Refers to the raven in the New Testament, specifically in Luke 12:24, where Jesus uses the raven as an example of God's provision. Usage: The term "Oreb" refers to the raven, a large black bird known for its intelligence and adaptability. In the Bible, ravens are often associated with desolation and wilderness but also with God's provision and care, as seen in the account of Elijah. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, ravens were often seen as symbols of mystery and the unknown due to their black plumage and scavenging nature. Despite their association with uncleanliness in Levitical law (Leviticus 11:15), ravens are depicted in the Bible as instruments of God's providence, notably when they fed Elijah during a time of drought (1 Kings 17:4-6).
