In the Bible, ravens are often associated with desolation and wilderness but also with God's provision and care. They are considered unclean animals according to Levitical law (Leviticus 11:15).<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, ravens were often seen as symbols of mystery and omens due to their black plumage and scavenging nature. Despite their negative connotations, ravens are noted for their resourcefulness and ability to survive in harsh conditions. In the biblical context, they serve as instruments of God's providence, as seen in the account of Elijah.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/693.htm">arab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an ambuscade<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>ambush (1), plotting (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">אֹ֫רֶב</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>ambuscade</b></font> only figurative — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>a.</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">יָשִׂים אָרְבּוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/9-7.htm">Jeremiah 9:7</a> i.e. he planneth treachery. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>b.</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">אָרְבָּם</font> <em>their intrigue</em> <a href="/interlinear/hosea/7-6.htm">Hosea 7:6</a> compare Now<sup>p.126</sup>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>wait <p>The same as <a href="/hebrew/695.htm">'ereb</a> -- wait. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/695.htm">'ereb</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>אָרְבּֽוֹ׃ ארבו׃ ’ā·rə·bōw ’ārəbōw areBo<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/jeremiah/9-8.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Jeremiah 9:8</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/9.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">וּבְקִרְבּ֖וֹ יָשִׂ֥ים <b> אָרְבּֽוֹ׃ </b> </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/jeremiah/9.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> he sets <span class="itali">an ambush</span> for him.<br><a href="/kjvs/jeremiah/9.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> but in heart he layeth <span class="itali">his wait.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/9-8.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> inwardly sets <span class="itali">an ambush</span><p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_696.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_696.htm">Strong's Hebrew 696<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/arebo_696.htm">’ā·rə·bōw — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/695.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="695"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="695" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/697.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="697"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="697" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
