Strong's Lexicon qereb: midst, inner part, inward part, among, within Original Word: קְרֵב Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to approach Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3319 (mesos): meaning "middle" or "midst" - G1787 (entós): meaning "within" or "inside" Usage: The Hebrew word "qereb" primarily denotes the inner part or midst of something. It is often used to describe the innermost parts of a person, such as the heart or soul, and can also refer to the midst of a group or community. In a broader sense, it signifies being within or among something, indicating proximity or closeness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of the "inner part" or "midst" was significant in understanding both physical and spiritual realities. The heart, often associated with "qereb," was seen as the center of thought, emotion, and will. The idea of being "in the midst" of a community or group also carried connotations of belonging and identity, which were crucial in the tribal and communal society of ancient Israel.
