Strong's Lexicon orek: Length Original Word: אֹרֶךְ Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: orek Pronunciation: OH-rek Phonetic Spelling: (o'rek') Definition: length Meaning: The primary meaning of אֹרֶךְ is "length." It refers to the measurement or extent of something from end to end. Word Origin: Derived from the root אָרַךְ (arak), which means "to be long." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G939 (βραχύς, brachys): Meaning "short," often used in contrast to length. • G3115 (μακροθυμία, makrothymia): Meaning "patience" or "longsuffering," related to the concept of enduring over time. • G3117 (μακρός, makros): Meaning "long," directly related to the concept of length. • G3372 (μετρητής, metretēs): Meaning "measure," related to the act of measuring length or capacity. These Greek entries provide a broader understanding of the concept of length and its applications in both physical and metaphorical contexts within the biblical text. Usage: The term אֹרֶךְ is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe physical dimensions, such as the length of objects, spaces, or time periods. It is often used in contexts involving measurements of the Tabernacle, the Temple, and other structures, as well as metaphorically to describe the duration of life or time. Context: • אֹרֶךְ appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often in descriptions of sacred architecture. For example, in Exodus 26:2, the length of the curtains of the Tabernacle is specified: "The length of each curtain is twenty-eight cubits, and the width of each curtain is four cubits; all the curtains are the same size." • In 1 Kings 6:2, the dimensions of Solomon's Temple are given: "The house that King Solomon built for the LORD was sixty cubits long, twenty cubits wide, and thirty cubits high." • The term is also used metaphorically to describe the duration of life, as seen in Proverbs 3:2: "For they will add length to your days, years and peace to your life." • אֹרֶךְ is used to convey both physical and temporal dimensions, emphasizing the importance of measurement and order in the biblical narrative.
