<p> | <p> '''A. Noun.''' </p> <p> <em> Migrâsh </em> (מִגְרָשָׁה, Strong'S #4054), “suburbs; pasture land; open land.” This noun occurs about 100 times, mainly in Joshua and First Chronicles. It denotes the untilled ground outside a city or the “pasture land” belonging to the cities: “For the children of [[Joseph]] were two tribes, [[Manasseh]] and Ephraim: therefore they gave no part unto the [[Levites]] in the land, save cities to dwell in, with their suburbs for their cattle and for their substance” (Josh. 14:4). </p> <p> Ezekiel describes a strip of land for the Levites around the city. Part of the land was to be used for houses and part to be left: “And the five thousand, that are left in the breadth over against the five and twenty thousand, shall be a profane place for the city, for dwelling, and for suburbs: and the city shall be in the midst thereof” (Ezek. 48:15). The [[Septuagint]] translates the word <em> perisporia </em> (“suburb”). </p> <p> '''B. Verb.''' </p> <p> <em> Gârash </em> ( <em> גָּרַשׁ </em> , Strong'S #1644), “to drive out, cast out.” This verb occurs about 45 times. An early occurrence in the Old [[Testament]] is in Exod. 34:11: “… Behold, I drive out before thee the Amorite, and the Canaanite.…” The word may be used of a divorced woman as in Lev. 21:7—a woman that is “put away from her husband.” </p> | ||
