Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic root דְּבַךְ, which is related to the concept of layering or stacking.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for נִדְבָּךְ in the Strong's Concordance, as it is a specific Aramaic term used in a particular historical and cultural context. However, related concepts of building and construction can be found in Greek terms such as θεμέλιος (themelios, Strong's Greek 2310), meaning "foundation," which also pertains to the structural elements of a building. Usage: The term נִדְבָּךְ is used in the context of construction, specifically referring to layers or courses of building materials such as stone or timber. Context: The Aramaic term נִדְבָּךְ appears in the context of the rebuilding of the temple in the book of Ezra. It is used to describe the layers or courses of stone and timber that were laid during the construction process. This term highlights the methodical and structured approach to building, emphasizing the importance of each layer in contributing to the overall stability and integrity of the structure. In Ezra 6:4, the text specifies the use of three layers of large stones and one layer of timber, illustrating the careful planning and resource allocation in the temple's reconstruction. This reflects the broader biblical theme of restoration and renewal, as the temple was a central place of worship and community for the Israelites.
