Strong's Lexicon arab: To mix, to pledge, to exchange, to become surety Original Word: עָרַב Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1453 (ἐγείρω, egeirō): To raise up, to awaken - G1458 (ἐγγυάομαι, engyáomai): To pledge, to give assurance Usage: The Hebrew verb "ʿarab" primarily means to mix or to interweave. It is used in various contexts, including the mixing of people or things, the act of becoming a guarantor or surety for someone, and the exchange or barter of goods. The term can also imply a sense of becoming entangled or involved with something or someone. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, the concept of surety or guarantee was significant in social and economic transactions. A person who became a surety for another was legally and morally bound to fulfill the obligations if the primary party defaulted. This practice is reflected in the biblical text, where becoming a surety is often cautioned against due to the potential for financial and social entanglement.
