They were critical for survival, especially in times of famine or poor harvests. The concept of a storehouse also carried spiritual connotations, as it was often used metaphorically to describe the storing up of spiritual treasures or the preparation for eternal life.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/659.htm">apotithémi</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a place for putting away, hence a storehouse<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>barn (4), barns (2).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 596: ἀποθήκη</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">ἀποθήκη</span></span>, <span class="greek2">ἀποθηκης</span>, <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> (<span class="greek2">ἀποτίθημι</span>), <span class="accented">a place in which anything is laid by or up; a storehouse, granary</span> (<span class="abbreviation">A.
