Strong's Lexicon metsillah: Deep, Depths Original Word: מְצִלָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root צָלַל (tsalal), which means "to sink" or "to be submerged." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 1037: βυθός (bythos) - meaning "depth" or "abyss." - Strong's Greek 899: βάθος (bathos) - meaning "depth" or "profound." Usage: The term "metsillah" is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the depths of the sea or ocean. It conveys the idea of something being submerged or hidden beneath the surface, often used metaphorically to describe overwhelming circumstances or the profound nature of God's creation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the sea was often seen as a symbol of chaos and mystery. The depths of the sea, or "metsillah," represented the unknown and the uncontrollable forces of nature. This imagery is used throughout the Bible to illustrate God's power over creation and His ability to bring order out of chaos.
