Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often involves the concept of spreading or laying down, such as פָּרַשׂ (paras, Strong's H6566), which means "to spread out" or "to stretch." Usage: The verb ὑποστρώννυω (hupostrónnuó) is used to describe the action of spreading something underneath, often in the context of preparing a place or making it comfortable. This term can imply the act of laying down a covering or bedding, such as spreading garments or branches on the ground. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the act of spreading garments or branches was a sign of honor and respect, often associated with welcoming a dignitary or preparing a place for rest. This practice is reflected in various biblical narratives where people spread their cloaks or branches to honor someone of importance, such as a king or a revered guest.
