This concept is deeply rooted in the idea of taking responsibility for someone else's obligations or debts. In the Old Testament, it is used to describe a person who becomes a guarantor for another, ensuring that the obligations of the latter are fulfilled.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of surety was significant in legal and economic transactions. It was common for individuals to act as guarantors for others, especially in matters of debt or legal obligations. This practice was not only a financial commitment but also a moral and social one, reflecting the communal nature of ancient Near Eastern societies. The role of a surety was taken seriously, as it involved personal risk and responsibility.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6149.htm">arab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>sweet, pleasant<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sweet (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">עָרֵב</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>sweet, pleasant</b></font>;
