It is used to describe physical spaces that allow passage or access, often implying a transition from one area to another. In a broader sense, it can also symbolize opportunities or beginnings.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of an "opening" or "entrance" held significant importance. City gates, doorways of homes, and temple entrances were not only physical structures but also places of social and religious interaction. They were often sites of legal transactions, public announcements, and communal gatherings. The entrance to a tent or house was a place of hospitality and protection, reflecting the values of community and security.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6605.htm">pathach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an opening, unfolding<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>unfolding (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">מֵּ֫תַח</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>opening, unfolding</b></font>; — construct <font class="hebrew2">דְּבָרֶיךָ יָאִיר</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">פ</font> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/119-130.htm">Psalm 119:130</a>, so <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> and most; > Symm Jerome Bae <font class="hebrew2">מֶּתַח</font> (= <em>thy words as a doorway</em>). <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>entrance <p>From <a href="/hebrew/6605.htm">pathach</a>; opening (figuratively) i.e. Disclosure -- entrance. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/6605.htm">pathach</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>פֵּ֖תַח פתח pê·ṯaḥ Petach pêṯaḥ<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/psalms/119-130.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Psalm 119:130</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/119.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> <b> פֵּ֖תַח </b> דְּבָרֶ֥יךָ יָאִ֗יר</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/psalms/119.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> <span class="itali">The unfolding</span> of Your words<br><a href="/kjvs/psalms/119.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> <span class="itali">The entrance</span> of thy words<br><a href="/interlinear/psalms/119-130.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> <span class="itali">the unfolding</span> of your words gives<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6608.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_6608.htm">Strong's Hebrew 6608<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/petach_6608.htm">pê·ṯaḥ — 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/6607.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="6607"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="6607" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/6609.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="6609"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="6609" /></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>
