Strong's Lexicon arab: To mix, to pledge, to exchange, to become surety Original Word: עָרֵב Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1453 (egiro): To awaken, to raise up - G1454 (egersis): A rising up, resurrection Usage: The Hebrew verb "עָרַב" (arab) primarily conveys the idea of mixing or intermingling. It is used in various contexts to describe the act of becoming a guarantor or surety for someone, as well as the act of exchanging or pledging. The term can also imply a sense of becoming entangled or involved with something or someone. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of surety or becoming a guarantor was a significant social and legal practice. It involved taking responsibility for another person's debt or obligation, often at great personal risk. This practice is reflected in the biblical text, where becoming a surety is sometimes cautioned against due to the potential for financial and relational entanglements. The idea of mixing or intermingling also had cultural implications, particularly in the context of maintaining purity and distinctiveness as a people set apart by God.
