Strong's Lexicon mireh: Pasture, grazing, feeding place Original Word: מִרְעֶה Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: mir`eh Pronunciation: meer-eh' Phonetic Spelling: (meer-eh') Definition: Pasture, grazing, feeding place Meaning: pasture, the haunt of wild animals Word Origin: Derived from the root רָעָה (ra'ah), meaning "to pasture" or "to tend." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4166 (ποιμήν, poimēn) - Shepherd - G4165 (ποιμαίνω, poimainō) - To shepherd, to tend Usage: The Hebrew word "mireh" refers to a place where animals, particularly sheep and cattle, graze and feed. It is often used in the context of shepherding and agriculture, highlighting the importance of providing sustenance and care for livestock. The term can also metaphorically represent spiritual nourishment and care, as seen in various biblical passages. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, shepherding was a common occupation, and the imagery of pastures and grazing was deeply embedded in the culture. Shepherds were responsible for leading their flocks to fertile pastures, ensuring their safety and well-being. This pastoral imagery is frequently used in the Bible to describe God's care for His people, likening Him to a shepherd who provides for and protects His flock.
