Strong's Lexicon ibchah: Flash, Glint, Gleam Original Word: אִבְחָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: ibchah Pronunciation: ib-khaw' Phonetic Spelling: (ib-khaw') Definition: brandishing of a, sword Meaning: The term אִבְחָה refers to the "brandishing" or "flashing" of a sword, often implying a swift, decisive, or striking motion. Word Origin: Derived from the root verb בָּחַר (bachar), which means "to choose" or "to select." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the specific action of "brandishing" a sword, related concepts can be found in Greek terms that describe the use of a sword or the act of striking, such as μάχαιρα (machaira • G3162), which refers to a sword or dagger, and ῥομφαία (rhomphaia • G4501), which denotes a large sword or a weapon of war. These Greek terms similarly convey the idea of a weapon in action, though they do not specifically capture the visual aspect of brandishing. Usage: The word אִבְחָה is used in the context of describing the action or effect of a sword being wielded, emphasizing the visual and dynamic aspect of the motion. Context: The Hebrew term אִבְחָה appears in the Old Testament to convey the vivid imagery of a sword in motion. This word is used to describe the gleaming or flashing effect of a sword as it is brandished, suggesting both the skill of the wielder and the imminent danger posed by the weapon. The term captures the attention-grabbing and awe-inspiring nature of a sword in action, often used in poetic or prophetic literature to evoke a sense of power and judgment. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to illustrate the dramatic and forceful nature of divine judgment or military prowess. The imagery of a flashing sword serves as a metaphor for the swift and decisive execution of justice or the overwhelming might of an army. This term underscores the seriousness and intensity of the situation, often leaving a lasting impression on the reader or listener.
