Strong's Lexicon ameq: Valley, depth Original Word: עָמֵק Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: `ameq Pronunciation: ah-make Phonetic Spelling: (aw-make') Definition: Valley, depth Meaning: deep Word Origin: Derived from the root עָמַק (amaq), which means "to be deep" or "to make deep." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5327 (pharagx): Refers to a ravine or valley, used in the New Testament to describe geographical features. - G999 (bothros): While not a direct equivalent, it refers to a pit or hole, often used metaphorically. Usage: The Hebrew word "ameq" primarily refers to a valley, often implying a geographical depression or lowland area between hills or mountains. It can also denote depth in a more abstract sense, such as the depth of wisdom or understanding. In the biblical context, valleys were significant for agriculture, habitation, and as strategic locations in military campaigns. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, valleys were crucial for sustaining life due to their fertile soil and access to water. They were often sites of battles, settlements, and trade routes. The topography of the land of Israel, with its numerous valleys, played a significant role in the historical and cultural development of the region. Valleys were also symbolic in biblical literature, representing both physical and spiritual low points or challenges.
