Strong's Lexicon mibrach: Place of escape, refuge Original Word: מִבְרָח Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּרַח (barach), meaning "to flee" or "to escape." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent concept can be found in words like καταφυγή (kataphugē), meaning "refuge" or "shelter," as seen in passages like Hebrews 6:18, which speaks of taking refuge in the hope set before us. Usage: The term "mibrach" refers to a place of escape or refuge. It is used to describe a location or situation where one can find safety or protection from danger or pursuit. In the biblical context, it often implies a divinely provided sanctuary or a place of deliverance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of refuge was significant, both physically and spiritually. Cities of refuge were established as places where individuals who had committed unintentional manslaughter could flee to avoid retribution until a fair trial could be conducted (Numbers 35:9-15). This reflects the broader cultural understanding of sanctuary and protection, which is deeply embedded in the biblical narrative as a metaphor for God's protection and deliverance.
