Strong's Lexicon tavah: To sink, to drown, to settle down Original Word: טָוָה Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: tavah Pronunciation: tah-VAH Phonetic Spelling: (taw-vaw') Definition: To sink, to drown, to settle down Meaning: to spin Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tavah," the concept of sinking or drowning can be related to Greek words such as "katapontizō" (G2670), meaning to sink or plunge into the sea. Usage: The Hebrew verb "tavah" primarily means to sink or to drown. It is used in the context of something being submerged or overwhelmed by water. This term can also imply being settled or fixed in a particular place, often with a connotation of being overwhelmed or engulfed. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, water was both a source of life and a symbol of chaos and danger. The act of sinking or drowning was often associated with peril and divine judgment. The imagery of being overwhelmed by water is prevalent in Hebrew poetry and narrative, reflecting the Israelites' experiences with the sea and rivers, which were both vital and threatening.
