Strong's Lexicon naba: To gush forth, to bubble up, to spring Original Word: נָבַע Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "ἀναβλύζω" (anablýzō), which also means to gush forth or spring up, though it is not directly linked to a specific Strong's number in the New Testament. Usage: The Hebrew verb "naba" primarily conveys the action of gushing forth or bubbling up, often used in the context of water or springs. It can also metaphorically describe the outpouring of words or emotions, suggesting a natural, abundant, and often unstoppable flow. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, water was a precious and life-sustaining resource. Springs and fountains were vital for survival, agriculture, and settlement. The imagery of water gushing forth would resonate deeply with an agrarian society dependent on consistent water sources. Metaphorically, the concept of something "bubbling up" could also relate to the prophetic tradition, where messages from God were seen as flowing forth from the prophet.
