Rebiy’iy, “Fourth,” Strong’s H7243

February 4, 2021 by Christine Miller Leave a Comment

1 Kin 6:1 | scripture pictures @ alittleperspective.com

The first occurrence.

And the evening and the morning were the fourth day. Gen 1:19

The primitive root.

Strong’s H7243 רביעי rebiy’iy, an adjective meaning “fourth,” the ordinal of Strong’s H702 ארבע arba, “four,” the cardinal number; from Strong’s H7251 רבע raba, a primitive root meaning, “to square.” The 3 letters resh + bet + ayin tell the parable.

resh ר = head of man, thus head, first, top, beginning, man
bet ב = house, thus house, household, family, in, within
ayin ע = eye, thus watch, know, shade

The story: The head (resh) stone of the house (bet) is the cornerstone, which was always closely watched (ayin) to ensure that it was laid squarely.

Otam, “Them,” Strong’s H853

Gen 1:17-18 | alittleperspective.com

The first occurrence.

And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light on the earth, Gen 1:17

The primitive root.

Strong’s H853 אתם otam; a primitive pronoun for the 3rd person plural. It is contracted from Strong’s H226 אות oth, a concrete object meaning, “mark, sign;” as the untranslated aleph-tav; an untranslated particle indicating a reflexive: “In the beginning created God את Himself …” The primitive root is Strong’s H225 אות uwth, meaning, “to consent.” The aleph + vav + tav makes the parable.

aleph א = ox head, thus strength, power, leader
vav ו  = tent peg, thus add, secure, hook
tav ת  = crossed sticks, thus mark, sign, signal, monument

The story: As an ox (aleph) is driven toward (vav, as a tent peg is driven into the ground to secure the tent) a landmark (tav) in order to keep the plow furrow straight, so a powerful security (aleph + vav) marks (tav) the agreement of two parties to the covenant.

The Hebrew Testament Biblical text is from the 1917 Jewish Publication Society edition posted by Mechon Mamre online. I have aligned the verse and chapter numbers to the KJV. The Greek Testament Biblical text is from the 1769 Authorized King James edition posted by Official King James Bible online.  For both Testaments, I have modernized words, spelling, and grammar. Translation changes to correct anti-Messiah and anti-Torah bias are noted in the text. The linked studies, chiastic structures, and Scripture pictures are my own and are copyright © Christine Miller.
