Topical Lexicon Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to gather or store.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Strong's Hebrew 712, as the concept of a "box" or "chest" may be represented by different terms in Greek, depending on the context and specific use. However, Greek terms related to containers or storage might include "κίστη" (kistē) or "θήκη" (thēkē), though these are not direct translations of "argaz." Usage: The term "argaz" is used in the context of a container or chest, typically for storing items. Context: The Hebrew word "argaz" appears in the context of a storage container, often translated as "box" or "chest." In the Berean Standard Bible, this term is found in 1 Samuel 6:8, where it describes a box used to hold the gold objects sent back with the Ark of the Covenant by the Philistines. The passage reads: "Take the ark of the LORD and set it on the cart, and in a chest beside it, place the gold objects you are sending back to Him as a guilt offering. Then send it on its way." This usage highlights the function of the "argaz" as a receptacle for valuable items, emphasizing its role in the narrative as part of the restitution process to the God of Israel. The context suggests that the "argaz" was a practical and significant item, used to accompany sacred objects, underscoring its importance in the cultural and religious practices of the time.
