Strong's Lexicon kebarah: sieve Original Word: כְּבָרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּבַר (kabar), meaning "to be many" or "to multiply." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "kebarah," the concept of sifting or separating can be related to the Greek word σινιάζω (siniazo), Strong's Greek 4617, which means "to sift" and is used in Luke 22:31 when Jesus tells Peter that Satan has asked to sift him as wheat. Usage: The term "kebarah" refers to a sieve, a tool used for separating finer particles from coarser ones. In the context of ancient Israel, it would have been used in agricultural and culinary settings to sift grain or flour, ensuring purity and quality in food preparation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern societies, sieves were essential tools in daily life, particularly in agrarian communities. The process of sifting was crucial for preparing grain for consumption, as it removed impurities and ensured that the flour was fine and suitable for baking. The use of a sieve symbolized discernment and separation, themes that are often reflected in biblical teachings about purity and holiness.
