Strong's Lexicon arugah: Bed, garden bed, or plot Original Word: עֲרוּגָה Word Origin: Derived from the root ערג (arog), meaning "to arrange" or "to set in order." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of a cultivated plot or garden can be related to Greek terms such as "κῆπος" (kēpos), meaning "garden." Usage: The term "arugah" refers to a plot of land, specifically a garden bed or a cultivated area where plants are arranged and grown. It is used to describe a place that is organized and tended, often implying care and intentionality in its cultivation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and survival. Gardens and cultivated plots were essential for providing food and resources. The concept of a well-tended garden bed would have been familiar to the Israelites, symbolizing not only physical sustenance but also spiritual and communal well-being. Gardens were often seen as places of beauty and order, reflecting God's creation and provision.
