Strong's Lexicon maarab: West, sunset Original Word: מַעֲרָב Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרַב (arab), which means "to mix" or "to become evening." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "maarab," the concept of directions and times of day can be related to Greek terms such as δύσις (dysis), meaning "sunset" or "west." Usage: The Hebrew word "maarab" primarily refers to the direction of the west or the time of sunset. In the ancient Hebrew context, directions were often described in relation to the position of the sun, with "maarab" indicating the place where the sun sets. This term is used to denote the western direction or the concept of evening. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, directions were often described in relation to natural phenomena, such as the rising and setting of the sun. The west, or "maarab," was significant not only as a cardinal direction but also as a time marker for the end of the day. The setting sun symbolized the transition from day to night, a time for rest and reflection. The west was also associated with the Mediterranean Sea, which lay to the west of Israel, influencing trade and cultural exchanges.
