Strong’s Greek Lexicon
perhaps from πρασον prason (a leek, and so an onion-patch); a garden plot, i.e. (by implication, of regular beds) a row (repeated in plural by Hebraism, to indicate an arrangement):—in ranks.
Owing to changes in the enumeration while in progress, there were no words left for numbers 2717 and 3203–3302, which were therefore silently dropped out of the vocabulary and references as redundant.
Thayer’s Greek Definitions
1) a plot of ground, a garden bed
2) Hebrew idiom, i.e. they reclined in ranks or divisions, so that several ranks formed, as it were separate plots
