Strong's Lexicon rachath: Barge, raft, or tray Original Word: רַחַת Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be thin or to spread out Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, as the concept of a "tray" or "raft" may be expressed differently in Greek texts, often depending on the context and specific use. Usage: The Hebrew word "rachath" refers to a flat object used for carrying or transporting items. In biblical contexts, it is often associated with a tray or a similar object used for practical purposes. The term is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, indicating its specific and limited application. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, items like trays or rafts were essential for daily life, particularly in domestic and trade settings. They were used for serving food, carrying goods, or even as simple platforms for various tasks. The construction of such items would have been straightforward, using materials readily available in the region, such as wood or reeds.
