Berean Strong's Lexicon orbah: Pledge, Surety Original Word: עֹרְבָה Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרַב (arab), which means "to mix" or "to pledge." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of a pledge or surety in the New Testament can be related to the Greek word ἀρραβών (arrabōn), Strong's Greek 728, which refers to a pledge or earnest, particularly in the context of the Holy Spirit as a guarantee of our inheritance (Ephesians 1:14). Usage: The term "orbah" refers to a pledge or a surety, often in the context of a guarantee or security for a promise or obligation. In the biblical context, it is used to describe a form of assurance or commitment, typically in financial or relational agreements. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, pledges and sureties were common practices in legal and financial transactions. They served as a form of security to ensure that obligations were met. This concept is deeply rooted in the communal and familial structures of ancient Israel, where trust and honor were paramount. The idea of a pledge extended beyond mere financial transactions to include personal and familial commitments.
