Strong's Lexicon arak or arik: To be long, to prolong, to make long Original Word: אֲרַךְ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3114 (makrothymeo): To be patient, to endure - G3115 (makrothymia): Patience, long-suffering Usage: The Hebrew verb "arak" or "arik" primarily conveys the idea of lengthening or prolonging. It is often used in the context of extending time, patience, or physical dimensions. The term can be applied both literally, such as in the lengthening of days or life, and metaphorically, such as in the extension of patience or mercy. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, longevity and the extension of life were seen as blessings from God. The concept of prolonging days is often associated with obedience to God's commandments and living a righteous life. The idea of lengthening is also tied to the patience and forbearance of God, who is described as "long-suffering" in His dealings with humanity.
