However, the Greek term "καταρράκτης" (katarraktēs), meaning "waterfall" or "floodgate," can be seen as a conceptual parallel.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The term "Arubboth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to openings or windows, often in the context of the heavens. It is metaphorically used to describe the floodgates of heaven, which God can open to pour out blessings or rain upon the earth. This imagery is particularly vivid in the context of divine provision and judgment.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of the heavens having windows or floodgates was a common metaphor. It reflected the belief that the sky was a solid dome with openings through which rain could be released. This understanding is evident in various ancient texts and aligns with the biblical portrayal of God as the sovereign controller of the natural world, who can open or close these windows at His will.<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>a place in Pal.<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Arubboth (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">אֲרֻבּוֺת</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> (= <font class="hebrew2">אֲרָב</font>? compare Klo on the passage) <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/4-10.htm">1 Kings 4:10</a> <font class="hebrew2">בָּאֲרֻבּוֺת</font>. <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>Aruboth <p>Plural of <a href="/hebrew/699.htm">'arubbah</a>; Arubboth, a place in Palestine -- Aruboth. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/699.htm">'arubbah</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>בָּֽאֲרֻבּ֑וֹת בארבות bā’ărubbōwṯ bā·’ă·rub·bō·wṯ baarubBot<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/1_kings/4-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">1 Kings 4:10</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/1_kings/4.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">בֶּן־ חֶ֖סֶד <b> בָּֽאֲרֻבּ֑וֹת </b> ל֥וֹ שֹׂכֹ֖ה</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/1_kings/4.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> Ben-hesed, <span class="itali">in Arubboth</span> (Socoh<br><a href="/kjvs/1_kings/4.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> The son of Hesed, <span class="itali">in Aruboth;</span> to him [pertained] Sochoh,<br><a href="/interlinear/1_kings/4-10.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> Ben-hesed <span class="itali">Arubboth</span> (Socoh all<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_700.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_700.htm">Strong's Hebrew 700<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/baarubbot_700.htm">bā·’ă·rub·bō·wṯ — 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/699.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="699"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="699" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/701.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="701"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="701" /></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>
