Usage: The term מַרְבַד appears in the context of describing luxurious or ornate coverings, emphasizing beauty and craftsmanship. It is used in the Bible to denote a sense of opulence and comfort. Context: The Hebrew word מַרְבַד (marbad) is found in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Proverbs. It is used to describe a type of covering that is both functional and decorative. In Proverbs 7:16, the term is used to illustrate the allure and enticement of a setting prepared with care and attention to detail: "I have decked my bed with coverings, with colored linens from Egypt." This passage highlights the use of מַרְבַד as part of a setting designed to attract and seduce, indicating its association with luxury and exoticism. The use of colored linens from Egypt further underscores the value and desirability of such coverings in ancient times. מַרְבַד, therefore, not only serves a practical purpose but also conveys a sense of wealth and sophistication.
