Definition: The word "arefy" refers to the Hebrew word "arith," which means "to set." It's a root from the verb "arath, to set," meaning to place or establish something, often referring to the division of land into territories for settlement by foreign forces. The term also carries multiple meanings depending on its usage: - In modern Jewish tradition, arith is used to refer to the "settlement" process after the death of a high priest, which is known as the "reformation." - It may also be used to describe the division of land into territories by foreign powers or conquerors. In context, the word "arefy" often comes from the biblical story of the "settlement" of Israel when they were divided between various kings under Assyrian rule. The passage describes the divisions as being set up to create a new land for themselves. This root has religious and cultural significance in Judaism, as it is often used to express the division between God's people on the one hand (the Old Testament) and those outside of the Jewish faith who seek peace with God through foreign nations or rulers.
