Strong's Lexicon Goah: Roaring, bellowing Original Word: גֹּעָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root גָּעָה (ga'ah), which means "to bellow" or "to roar." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Goah," the concept of roaring or loud noise can be found in Greek terms such as βρυχάομαι (bruchaomai), meaning "to roar" or "to bellow," used in contexts like 1 Peter 5:8, where the devil is described as a roaring lion. Usage: The term "Goah" is used to describe a loud, resonant sound, often associated with the bellowing of animals such as cattle. It conveys a sense of power and intensity, often used metaphorically to describe the voice of God or the tumultuous noise of a large crowd. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the sounds of nature and animals were often used metaphorically to describe divine actions or significant events. The bellowing of cattle, for instance, was a familiar sound in agrarian societies and could symbolize strength, urgency, or a call to attention. The use of such imagery in the Hebrew Bible reflects the close relationship between the people and their environment, as well as their understanding of God's voice as powerful and commanding.
