Strong's Lexicon sachah: To swim Original Word: סָחָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance for the Hebrew "sachah," the concept of swimming can be related to Greek words like "κολυμβάω" (kolumbao), which means "to swim." Usage: The Hebrew verb "sachah" primarily means "to swim." It is used in the context of moving through water, indicating the action of swimming. This term is relatively rare in the Hebrew Bible, reflecting specific instances where swimming is mentioned. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, bodies of water such as the Sea of Galilee, the Jordan River, and the Mediterranean Sea were significant for trade, travel, and sustenance. Swimming would have been a practical skill for fishermen, traders, and those living near these waters. However, swimming is not frequently mentioned in the biblical text, possibly due to the cultural and geographical context where land-based activities were more prominent.
