Strong's Lexicon rachab: Wide, broad, spacious Original Word: רָחָב Word Origin: Derived from the root רָחַב (rachav), which means "to be or grow wide, large, or spacious." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 4116 (πλατύς, platys): Meaning "broad" or "wide," used in the New Testament to describe wide paths or roads, such as in Matthew 7:13. Usage: The Hebrew word "rachab" is used to describe something that is wide or broad. It often conveys the idea of spaciousness or largeness, whether in a physical sense, such as a broad place or path, or metaphorically, such as a broad or expansive heart. The term can also imply freedom or liberation, as a wide space suggests the absence of constraints. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of space and land was significant. A broad or spacious land was seen as a blessing from God, symbolizing abundance, freedom, and security. The Israelites, who were often nomadic or lived in confined spaces, would have valued the idea of spaciousness as a sign of divine favor and prosperity.
