Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of support and sustainment can be related to Greek words like "στερεόω" (stereoō - to strengthen) and "ἀντιλαμβάνω" (antilambanō - to help, support).

Usage: The Hebrew verb "tamach" primarily means to support or uphold. It conveys the idea of providing stability or sustaining something or someone. In the context of the Old Testament, it often refers to God's sustaining power or the support one person provides to another.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of support was integral to community life. The agrarian society relied heavily on mutual support for survival, whether through physical labor, protection, or moral encouragement. The use of "tamach" in the Hebrew Bible often reflects this cultural value, emphasizing the importance of divine and communal support.
