Strong's Lexicon binyah: Building, structure Original Word: בִּנְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּנָה (banah), meaning "to build" or "to construct." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for building-related terms is οἰκοδομή (oikodomē), Strong's Greek #3619, which also means "building" or "edification." Usage: The term "binyah" refers to a physical structure or building. It is used in the context of construction, emphasizing the act of building or the result of such an activity. In the Hebrew Bible, it often denotes a literal building, such as a house, temple, or city wall. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, buildings were significant not only as physical structures but also as symbols of stability, security, and divine presence. The construction of the Temple in Jerusalem, for example, was a central event in Israel's history, representing God's dwelling among His people. Building practices in ancient times involved communal effort and were often seen as acts of worship or expressions of covenantal faithfulness.
