Strong's Lexicon makros: Long, large, far Original Word: μακρός Word Origin: Derived from the Greek root μακ- (mak-), which conveys the idea of length or extension. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of "makros" is אָרֹךְ (arokh), which also means long or prolonged. This can be seen in passages like Exodus 34:6, where God is described as "slow to anger," emphasizing His patience and enduring love. Usage: In the New Testament, "makros" is used to describe something that is long in duration or extent. It can refer to physical length, time, or metaphorical distance. The term is often used to emphasize the greatness or vastness of something, whether in size, time, or degree. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, the concept of length or greatness was often associated with power, endurance, and significance. The Greeks valued the idea of things that were "makros" as they often symbolized strength and longevity. In the biblical context, this term can be used to describe both physical and metaphorical attributes, reflecting the Hebrew understanding of time and space as part of God's creation.
