Strong's Lexicon doberah: Pasture, fold Original Word: דֹּבְרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּבַר (dabar), meaning "to speak" or "to declare." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is ποιμνιον (poimnion - Strong's Greek 4167), meaning "flock" or "fold." Usage: The term "doberah" is used to describe a place where livestock, particularly sheep, are kept and fed. It conveys the idea of a protected and nourishing environment, often associated with the care and provision of a shepherd. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, pastoralism was a common way of life, and the imagery of shepherds and their flocks is prevalent throughout the Bible. Shepherds were responsible for leading their sheep to pastures (doberah) where they could graze safely. This imagery is often used metaphorically in Scripture to describe God's care and guidance for His people, as well as the responsibilities of leaders within the community.
