barn (מגוּרה, meghūrāh, ?a granary,? ?fear,? Hag_2:19; אסם, 'āṣām, ?a storehouse,? Pro_3:10; ממּגוּרה, mammeghūrāh, ?a repository,? Joe_1:17; ἀποθήκη, apothḗkē, Mat_6:26; Mat_13:30; Luk_12:18, Luk_12:24): A place for the storing of grain, usually a dry cistern in the ground, covered over with a thick layer of earth. ?Grain is not stored in the East until it is threshed and winnowed. The apothēkē in Roman times was probably a building of some kind. But the immemorial usage of the East has been to conceal the grain, in carefully prepared pits or caves, which, being perfectly dry, will preserve it for years. It Thus escaped, as far as possible, the attentions of the tax-gatherer as well as of the robber - not always easily distinguished in the East; compare Jer_41:8? (Temple Dictionary, 215).
Figurative of heaven (Mat_13:30). See AGRICULTURE; GARNER.

Pro_3:10 (b) These barns represent the blessings that accumulate to GOD's people both for time and for eternity if they walk with GOD and give to Him all that He should have. It is the same truth as "lay up for yourselves treasures in Heaven."

Joe_1:17 (c) We believe that this word indicates that GOD's curse will be upon His people for their disobedience, and no blessings will accumulate to their credit. Too many of GOD's dear people have empty barns.

Mat_13:30 (c) This is symbolical of Heaven where the Lord takes His own saved ones who are here described as wheat.

Luk_12:18 (c) These barns represent selfish interests and activities for personal gain. This man thought that the barns were his barns and the grain was his grain, and that the increase belonged to him. He said, "Thou hast much goods laid up for many years." He was a fool in GOD's sight. So is everyone who lays up treasures for himself and is not rich toward GOD.

Barn
(אָסִם, asam', Pro_3:10; “store-house,” Deu_28:8; ἀποθήκη, “barn” or “garner”), a magazine or place of deposit for grain, which, among the Orientals, was frequently under-ground. SEE CAVE. The phraseology in Luk_12:18, shows that the Jews at that time had granaries above-ground, but it does not follow that they had altogether relinquished the older and still common custom of depositing grain in subterranean store-houses, in which it was more secure, and, as some think, preserved in better condition, than in the other. Those who are exposed to danger and alarm would naturally prefer the subterraneous granary, which may, on occasions of emergency, be abandoned by the proprietor with tolerable confidence that when he is enabled to return he shall find his treasured grain untouched, the entrance being so carefully concealed that it is sometimes discovered with difficulty even by the owner himself. This plan may in general be said to be resorted to by the peasantry throughout the East, granaries above-ground being confined to towns and their vicinities, a distinction which may also have prevailed among the Jews. SEE GRANARY.
The Heb. word גֹּרֶן, go'ren, rendered “barn” in Job_39:12; 2Ki_6:27, signifies rather a threshing-floor, as it is elsewhere translated. In Hag_2:19; Joe_1:17, the original terms are מְגוּרָה, megurah', and , מִמּגֻרָה, mammegurah', a granary. SEE AGRICULTURE.
