In the other Testament 1 word
מַעֲרֶכֶת maʻăreketh · H4635 · row, layer, showbread
πρόθεσις (próthesis, G4286) serves as the standard Greek rendering of מַעֲרֶכֶת (maʻăreketh, H4635) in LXX contexts referring to the show-bread arrangement in the Temple, where both terms denote the sacred bread set forth before God; πρόθεσις extends metaphorically to 'proposal/intention' in koine usage beyond this cultic register, while מַעֲרֶכֶת remains anchored to the physical 'row/arrangement' sense.
Semantic domains 2 entries
Plan, proposal, purpose30.63
The noun names a plan or purpose held firmly in mind. Luke's account of Barnabas's encouragement to the church at Antioch uses this term: “Then when he arrived and witnessed the grace of God, he rejoiced and began to encourage them all with resolute heart to remain true to the Lord” (Acts 11:23).
Bread offered to God, consecrated bread53.26
The same noun, in a specialized cultic sense, names the bread of the Presence set out before God in the Temple. Matthew's account of the disciples plucking grain on the Sabbath uses this term: “how he entered the house of God, and they ate the consecrated bread, which was not lawful for him to eat nor for those with him, but for the priests alone” (Matthew 12:4).
