Berean Strong's Lexicon arah: To uncover, to expose, to bare Original Word: ערה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "arah," the concept of uncovering or revealing can be related to Greek words like "ἀποκαλύπτω" (apokalypto - Strong's Greek 601), which means to reveal or uncover. Usage: The Hebrew verb "arah" primarily means to uncover or expose. It is often used in contexts where something hidden is revealed or laid bare. This can refer to physical uncovering, such as removing a covering from an object, or metaphorical exposure, such as revealing intentions or plans. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of uncovering or exposing carried significant weight, often associated with shame or vulnerability. Clothing and coverings were not only practical but also symbolic of dignity and honor. To uncover someone or something could imply a loss of honor or a revelation of truth. This cultural understanding is reflected in various biblical narratives where uncovering is associated with judgment or revelation.
