Strong's Lexicon bathus: Deep, profound Original Word: βαθύς Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: bathus Pronunciation: bä-thoos' Phonetic Spelling: (bath-oos') Definition: Deep, profound Meaning: deep (lit. and met.); in the depths of the early morning, while still very early; profound. Word Origin: Derived from the base of βάθος (bathos), meaning "depth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often used in similar contexts is תְּהוֹם (tehom), Strong's Hebrew 8415, which means "deep" or "abyss." Usage: The Greek adjective "bathus" is used to describe something that is deep or profound, often in a physical sense, such as deep waters or a deep pit. It can also be used metaphorically to describe profound thoughts or deep emotions. In the New Testament, it is used to convey both literal and figurative depths. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Greek culture, depth was often associated with mystery and the unknown. The sea, for example, was seen as a place of great depth and mystery, often representing chaos or the unknown. In a biblical context, depth can symbolize the profound nature of God's wisdom and knowledge, as well as the deep love and grace He extends to humanity.
