It conveys the idea of a collective movement, typically for trade, pilgrimage, or migration. The term is used to describe a group of people traveling together, often with camels or other pack animals, for mutual support and protection.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, caravans were essential for trade and communication across long distances. They provided safety in numbers against bandits and harsh environmental conditions. Caravans were a common sight in the ancient world, facilitating the exchange of goods, culture, and ideas. They often traveled along established trade routes, such as the famous Silk Road or the Incense Route, connecting various civilizations.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>active participle of <a href="/hebrew/732.htm">arach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a traveling company, caravan<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>caravan (1), caravans (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">אֹרְחָה</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>travelling company, caravan</b></font> (strictly <em>Participle</em> of <font class="hebrew2">אָרַח</font>), construct <font class="hebrew2">אֹרְחַת</font> <a href="/interlinear/genesis/37-25.htm">Genesis 37:25</a>;
