Strong's Lexicon arubbah: Window, lattice, sluice Original Word: עֲרֻבָּה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: `arubbah Pronunciation: ah-roo-BAH Phonetic Spelling: (ar-oob-baw') Definition: something given as security, a token, a bondsman Meaning: The term עֲרֻבָּה refers to something given as security, a token, or a bondsman. It is used in contexts where a pledge or guarantee is required, often in financial or relational agreements. Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרַב (arab), which means to pledge or exchange. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of a pledge or security in the New Testament is often expressed with the Greek word ἀρραβών (arrabōn), Strong's Greek Number 728, which refers to an earnest or a down payment, guaranteeing the fulfillment of a larger promise. This term is used in passages such as 2 Corinthians 1:22 and Ephesians 1:14, where it describes the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of the believer's inheritance. Usage: The word is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a pledge or security given in a transaction. It appears in contexts where a guarantee is needed to ensure the fulfillment of an obligation or promise. Context: • The concept of עֲרֻבָּה is rooted in ancient Near Eastern practices where pledges or securities were common in trade and personal agreements. In the biblical context, it often involves a tangible item or a person given as a guarantee for the fulfillment of a promise or debt. • In Genesis 38:17-18, Judah gives his seal, cord, and staff as a pledge (עֲרֻבָּה) to Tamar, highlighting the practice of providing personal items as security. • The term also appears in Proverbs 17:18, where it is used metaphorically to describe the foolishness of becoming surety for a neighbor without understanding the potential consequences: "A man lacking judgment shakes hands in pledge and puts up security for his neighbor." • The use of עֲרֻבָּה underscores the importance of trust and responsibility in relationships and transactions, reflecting a broader biblical theme of integrity and accountability.
