Strong's Lexicon tsulah: Depth, deep, abyss Original Word: צוּלָה Word Origin: Derived from the root צָלַל (tsalal), which means "to sink" or "to submerge." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - βυθός (G1037): Refers to the depth or bottom of the sea. - ἄβυσσος (G12): Often translated as "abyss," indicating a deep or bottomless pit. Usage: The Hebrew word "tsulah" refers to the depths of the sea or ocean, often used metaphorically to describe profound or unfathomable depths. It conveys the idea of something vast, mysterious, and beyond human reach or understanding. In the biblical context, it can symbolize chaos, danger, or the unknown, as well as the mighty power of God over creation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the sea was often seen as a symbol of chaos and disorder. The Israelites, primarily a land-based people, viewed the sea with a mixture of awe and fear. It represented the boundary of the known world and was often associated with the dwelling place of sea monsters or the abode of the dead. In the biblical narrative, God's control over the sea is a demonstration of His sovereignty and power over all creation.
