Strong's Lexicon rabah: To increase, to multiply, to become many, to grow Original Word: רָבָה Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: rabah Pronunciation: rah-BAH Phonetic Spelling: (raw-baw') Definition: To increase, to multiply, to become many, to grow Meaning: to increase Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4129 (πληθύνω, plethyno): To multiply, to increase - G4119 (πλείων, pleion): More, greater Usage: The Hebrew verb "rabah" primarily conveys the idea of increasing or multiplying. It is used in various contexts throughout the Old Testament to describe the growth or expansion of people, nations, livestock, and even abstract concepts like sin or peace. The term often implies a blessing or divine favor, especially when referring to the multiplication of descendants or prosperity. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of multiplication was closely tied to the idea of blessing and prosperity. Large families and abundant livestock were seen as signs of divine favor and were essential for survival and economic stability. The promise of multiplication, especially in terms of descendants, was a significant aspect of God's covenant with the patriarchs, reflecting the cultural importance of lineage and inheritance.
