Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root verb עָרַב (ʿā·raḇ), which means "to be pleasant" or "to be sweet."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek words, the concept of pleasantness or agreeableness in the Greek New Testament can be related to words such as εὐάρεστος (euárestos • Strong's Greek 2101), which means "well-pleasing" or "acceptable." This Greek term is used in contexts that convey a sense of being pleasing or agreeable, similar to the Hebrew עָרֵב (ʿā·rēḇ).

Usage: The term עָרֵב (ʿā·rēḇ) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, typically describing something that is pleasing or delightful, whether in taste, sound, or experience.

Context: The Hebrew word עָרֵב (ʿā·rēḇ) is an adjective that signifies pleasantness or agreeableness. It is used in the Old Testament to describe various aspects of life that bring joy or satisfaction. For instance, in the context of taste, it can refer to food that is sweet or enjoyable. In the realm of sound, it might describe music or speech that is melodious or pleasing to the ear. The word is also used metaphorically to describe experiences or situations that are favorable or delightful.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the word is used in passages that highlight the pleasantness of certain experiences or attributes. For example, in Psalm 104:34, the psalmist expresses a desire for their meditation to be pleasing to the Lord: "May my meditation be pleasing to Him, for I rejoice in the LORD." Here, the word עָרֵב (ʿā·rēḇ) underscores the psalmist's hope that their thoughts and reflections are agreeable to God.

The concept of pleasantness is significant in biblical literature, often associated with the goodness and beauty of God's creation and the joy found in righteous living. The use of עָרֵב (ʿā·rēḇ) reflects a broader biblical theme of seeking and appreciating that which is good and delightful in the eyes of the Lord.
