It is often used in the context of extending time, patience, or physical dimensions. The term can be applied both literally, such as in the lengthening of days or life, and metaphorically, such as in the extension of patience or mercy.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, longevity and the extension of life were seen as blessings from God. The concept of prolonging days is often associated with obedience to God's commandments and living a righteous life. The idea of lengthening is also tied to the patience and forbearance of God, who is described as "long-suffering" in His dealings with humanity.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>fitting, proper<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>fitting (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> II. <font class="hebrew2">ארך</font> (√ of following; according to most, weakened from <font class="hebrew2">ערך</font> (compare Biblical Hebrew) BeRy<sup>Ezra 4:14</sup>; but <font class="hebrew2">אַרִיךְ</font> loan-word from Persian (Old Iranian) <i><em>¹ryaka</em></i>, <em>worthy of an Aryan</em>, Scheft<sup>79</sup>). </p><p> <font class="hebrew2">אַרִיךְ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verbal adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>fitting, proper</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">אַ</font> Baer K<sup>§ 16, 5</sup> M<sup>§ 82, Anm. 2</sup>; van d.
