Original Word: עָמוֹק
Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine
Transliteration: `Amowq
Pronunciation: ah-moke
Phonetic Spelling: (aw-moke')
Definition: Deep
Meaning: Amok

Word Origin: Derived from the root עָמַק (ʿāmaq), which means "to be deep" or "to make deep."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 899 (βάθος, bathos): Often used in the New Testament to describe depth, both literal and metaphorical, similar to the Hebrew "Amoq."

Usage: The Hebrew word "Amoq" is used to describe something that is deep, profound, or difficult to understand. It can refer to physical depth, such as a deep pit or well, as well as metaphorical depth, such as deep thoughts or profound mysteries. In the biblical context, it often conveys the idea of something that is beyond human comprehension or requires divine insight.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, depth was often associated with mystery and the unknown. Deep waters, for example, were seen as places of chaos and danger, but also as sources of life and sustenance. In the Hebrew Bible, depth can symbolize both the unfathomable nature of God's wisdom and the hidden things that are revealed only through divine revelation.
