Strong's Lexicon benayim: Interval, space between, middle Original Word: בֵּנַיִם Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root בֵּין (bein), meaning "between" or "interval." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is διάστημα (diastēma), which also refers to an interval or space between. Usage: The term "benayim" is used to denote a space or interval between two points or objects. It often refers to a physical gap or separation, but can also imply a metaphorical or temporal interval. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe physical spaces, such as the area between two objects or locations. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, spatial relationships were significant in both practical and symbolic terms. The concept of "between" often carried implications of separation, distinction, or transition. Understanding spatial intervals was crucial for navigation, construction, and defining boundaries. The term "benayim" reflects the importance of these intervals in daily life and religious practices. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origina form of bayin, q.v.
