Strong's Lexicon Bariach: Bar, bolt, fugitive serpent Original Word: בָּרִיחַ Word Origin: From the root verb ברח (barach), meaning "to flee" or "to go through." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, but related concepts of security and protection can be found in words like "κλείς" (kleis - key) and "δράκων" (drakōn - dragon/serpent). Usage: The Hebrew word "bariach" primarily refers to a bar or bolt used to secure doors or gates. It is also metaphorically used to describe a "fugitive serpent," as seen in poetic and prophetic literature. The term conveys the idea of something that is stretched out or extended, whether it be a physical bar or a serpent. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern architecture, bars or bolts were essential for securing doors and gates, providing protection and privacy. The imagery of a "fugitive serpent" is rooted in ancient mythological and symbolic language, often representing chaos or evil forces that are restrained or controlled by divine power.
