Strong's Lexicon migrash or migrashah: Pastureland, open land, common land, outskirts Original Word: מִגְרָשׁ Word Origin: Derived from the root verb גָּרַשׁ (garash), meaning "to drive out" or "to expel." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, as the concept of migrash is specific to the Hebrew context of land allocation and inheritance. Usage: The term "migrash" refers to the open land or pastureland surrounding a city or village. It is often used in the context of the land allocated for the Levites in the Old Testament, serving as pasture for their livestock and as a buffer zone around their cities. The migrash was not to be sold or permanently transferred, as it was considered a part of the inheritance given by God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the migrash was an essential part of the community's structure, providing space for agriculture and livestock, which were vital for sustenance and economic stability. The allocation of migrashim (plural) to the Levites, who did not receive a territorial inheritance like the other tribes, underscored their unique role in Israelite society as priests and caretakers of the tabernacle. The migrashim ensured that the Levites had the necessary resources to support themselves while serving the spiritual needs of the people.
