Original Word:רְבָה
Part of Speech:Verb
Transliteration:rbah
Pronunciation:reh-BAH
Phonetic Spelling:(reb-aw')
Definition:Multitude, abundance, increase
Meaning:to increase

Word Origin:Derived from the root רָבָה (ravah), which means "to be many" or "to multiply."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is πληθύνω (plethyno), which also means "to multiply" or "to increase."

Usage:The term "rebah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a large number or quantity, often in the context of people, livestock, or blessings. It conveys the idea of abundance and prosperity, reflecting God's provision and favor.

Cultural and Historical Background:In ancient Israelite society, having a "rebah" or multitude was often seen as a sign of divine blessing. This could refer to a large family, abundant crops, or numerous livestock, all of which were essential for survival and prosperity in the agrarian culture of the time. The concept of multiplication and increase is deeply rooted in the covenant promises made by God to the patriarchs, where He promised to multiply their descendants and bless them abundantly.
