Strong's Lexicon hemyah: Murmuring, roaring, sound Original Word: הֶמְיָה Word Origin: Derived from the root הָמָה (hamah), which means to murmur, growl, or roar. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "βρυχηθμός" (bruchethmos), which also conveys the idea of roaring or loud noise. Usage: The Hebrew word "hemyah" is used to describe a sound that is often associated with a deep, resonant noise, such as the murmuring of a crowd, the roaring of the sea, or the growling of an animal. It conveys a sense of intensity and emotional depth, often used metaphorically to describe the inner turmoil or passionate expression of the heart. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, sounds played a significant role in communication and expression. The use of "hemyah" in the Hebrew Bible reflects the importance of auditory experiences in conveying emotions and divine messages. The ancient Israelites lived in a world where natural sounds were a constant presence, and these sounds were often seen as manifestations of God's power and presence.
