Strong's Lexicon sabak: To interweave, entwine, or entangle Original Word: שָׂבָךְ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of intertwining or entanglement can be related to Greek words like "συμπλέκω" (symplekō), meaning to entwine or interweave. Usage: The Hebrew verb "sabak" primarily means to interweave or entwine, often used in the context of physical objects being tangled or intertwined. It conveys the idea of something being intricately connected or enmeshed, whether literally or metaphorically. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, weaving and intertwining were common practices, especially in the making of textiles and baskets. The concept of being intertwined could also extend metaphorically to relationships or situations that are complex and interconnected. Understanding the cultural significance of weaving helps illuminate the metaphorical uses of "sabak" in the biblical text.
