Original Word: עָרִיף
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: ariph
Pronunciation: ah-REEF
Phonetic Spelling: (aw-reef')
Definition: Dripping, drop
Meaning: the sky

Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרַף (araph), meaning "to drop" or "to drip."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "ariph," the concept of dripping or gentle provision can be related to Greek words like "ὑετός" (hyetos, G5205), meaning "rain," which appears in contexts discussing God's provision and blessing.

Usage: The Hebrew word "ariph" refers to something that drips or drops, often used in the context of rain or dew. It conveys the idea of a gentle, continuous flow or descent of liquid. In the biblical context, it can symbolize blessing, nourishment, or the gentle provision of God.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, rain was a crucial element for agriculture and survival. The land depended heavily on seasonal rains for crops and livestock. The imagery of dripping or dropping water would have been a powerful symbol of life, sustenance, and divine favor. The gentle and consistent nature of "ariph" would evoke thoughts of God's faithful provision and care for His people.
