Strong's Lexicon ariel: Ariel Original Word: אֲרִאֵיל Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: ari'eyl Pronunciation: ah-ree-EL Phonetic Spelling: (ar-ee-ale') Definition: the altar of the temple Meaning: The term "Ari'el" is often interpreted as "lion of God" or "altar hearth." In the context of the temple, it refers specifically to the altar. Word Origin: Derived from the combination of two Hebrew words: אֲרִי (ari), meaning "lion," and אֵל (el), meaning "God." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Strong's Hebrew Number 741, as it is a specific Hebrew term related to the temple altar. However, the concept of an altar is represented in Greek by the word θυσιαστήριον (thysiastērion), which is used in the New Testament to refer to altars in a general sense. Usage: The term is used in the context of the temple altar, particularly in the prophetic and poetic literature of the Old Testament. It is a symbolic representation of the altar as a place of divine strength and presence. Context: The term אֲרִאֵיל (Ari'el) appears in the Hebrew Bible, notably in the book of Ezekiel. In Ezekiel 43:15-16, the word is used to describe the altar of the temple, emphasizing its significance and sanctity. The altar is depicted as the central place of sacrifice and worship, symbolizing the presence and power of God among His people. The imagery of a "lion" conveys strength, majesty, and divine authority, while "God" underscores the sacredness of the altar as a place dedicated to the worship and service of the Lord. The use of "Ari'el" in this context highlights the altar's role as a focal point of spiritual activity and divine-human interaction. In Ezekiel 43:15-16 (BSB), the passage reads: "The altar hearth shall be four cubits high, and four horns shall project upward from the hearth. The altar hearth shall be twelve cubits long and twelve cubits wide, with four equal sides." This description underscores the altar's dimensions and its centrality in the temple's design, reflecting its importance in the religious life of Israel.
