Strong's Lexicon agam: Pool, marsh, pond Original Word: אֲגַם Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to collect Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "agam," the concept of water bodies is often expressed in Greek with terms like "limnē" (G3041), meaning lake or pond. Usage: The Hebrew word "agam" refers to a body of water, typically a pool or marsh. It is used in the context of stagnant or collected waters, often implying a natural or man-made reservoir. The term can denote a place where water gathers, either temporarily or permanently, and is often associated with fertility and life in arid regions. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, water was a precious resource, and the presence of pools or marshes was vital for sustaining life, agriculture, and livestock. Pools and marshes were often seen as symbols of abundance and divine blessing. In the arid climate of the biblical lands, the collection and management of water were crucial for survival, making terms like "agam" significant in the cultural and historical context of the Bible.
