Strong's Lexicon Arubboth: Windows, floodgates Original Word: אֲרֻבּוֹת Word Origin: Derived from the root אָרַב (arab), meaning "to lie in wait" or "to ambush." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that matches the specific concept of "Arubboth" as used in the Hebrew Bible. However, the Greek term "καταρράκτης" (katarraktēs), meaning "waterfall" or "floodgate," can be seen as a conceptual parallel. Usage: The term "Arubboth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to openings or windows, often in the context of the heavens. It is metaphorically used to describe the floodgates of heaven, which God can open to pour out blessings or rain upon the earth. This imagery is particularly vivid in the context of divine provision and judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of the heavens having windows or floodgates was a common metaphor. It reflected the belief that the sky was a solid dome with openings through which rain could be released. This understanding is evident in various ancient texts and aligns with the biblical portrayal of God as the sovereign controller of the natural world, who can open or close these windows at His will.
