Strong's Lexicon marbets: Resting place, fold, couching place Original Word: מַרְבֵּץ Word Origin: From the root verb רָבַץ (ravats), meaning "to lie down" or "to rest." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, similar concepts can be found in Greek words like ποιμνιον (poimnion, Strong's G4167), meaning "flock," which also conveys the idea of a group of sheep under care. Usage: The term "marbets" refers to a place where animals, particularly sheep or cattle, lie down to rest. It is often used in the context of pastoral imagery, symbolizing peace, security, and provision. The word conveys a sense of tranquility and safety, where the flock can repose without fear. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, shepherding was a common occupation, and the imagery of sheep and their resting places was well understood by the people. Shepherds would lead their flocks to safe and suitable places to rest, ensuring their well-being. This imagery is often used in the Bible to describe God's care and provision for His people, likening them to sheep under His watchful eye.
