Strong's Lexicon zirmah: Flow, stream, flood Original Word: זִרְמָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: zirmah Pronunciation: zeer-MAH Phonetic Spelling: (zir-maw') Definition: Flow, stream, flood Meaning: a gushing of fluid Word Origin: Derived from the root זָרַם (zaram), meaning "to flow" or "to pour out." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "zirmah," similar concepts can be found in Greek words like πλημμύρα (plemmura, Strong's G4132), meaning "flood," and ῥεῦμα (rheuma, Strong's G4482), meaning "flow" or "stream." Usage: The Hebrew word "zirmah" is used to describe a flow or stream, often in the context of water. It can refer to a literal stream or flood, but it is also used metaphorically to describe an outpouring or overwhelming force, such as a torrent of emotions or events. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, water was a precious resource, and streams or floods could be both life-giving and destructive. The imagery of flowing water is common in Hebrew poetry and prophecy, symbolizing abundance, cleansing, or judgment. The concept of a flood or torrent would resonate with an agrarian society that depended on seasonal rains and feared destructive floods.
