Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew רָבַע (rāḇaʿ) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the concept of being quadrate is more specific to Hebrew architectural and ritual contexts. However, Greek terms related to measurement and construction, such as τετράγωνος (tetragōnos, meaning "four-cornered" or "square"), may convey similar ideas in the context of Greek architecture and design. Usage: The verb רָבַע (rāḇaʿ) is used in the context of describing something as being square or quadrate, often in reference to measurements or shapes in construction and design, particularly in the context of the tabernacle or temple. Context: The Hebrew verb רָבַע (rāḇaʿ) appears in the context of biblical descriptions of sacred architecture and design, where precision and symmetry are emphasized. This term is used to describe the squaring of objects, ensuring that they are of equal dimensions on all sides, reflecting a sense of order and perfection. In the construction of the tabernacle and temple, the use of רָבַע underscores the importance of following divine instructions meticulously, as seen in the detailed descriptions of the altar and other sacred furnishings. The concept of being quadrate is not merely a technical specification but also carries symbolic significance, representing stability, balance, and completeness in the divine order.
