Strong's Lexicon amiq: Deep Original Word: עֲמִיק Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: `amiyq Pronunciation: ah-MEEK Phonetic Spelling: (am-eek') Definition: profound, unsearchable Meaning: The term עֲמִיק (ʿămîq) is an Aramaic adjective meaning "profound" or "unsearchable." It conveys the idea of something that is deep, beyond human understanding or comprehension. Word Origin: Derived from the Aramaic root עֲמַק (ʿamaq), which is related to the Hebrew root עָמַק (ʿamaq), meaning "to be deep" or "to be profound." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent of the concept conveyed by עֲמִיק (ʿămîq) is found in Strong's Greek Number G901: βαθύς (bathys), which means "deep" or "profound." This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe the depth of God's wisdom and knowledge, as seen in passages like Romans 11:33: "Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable His judgments, and untraceable His ways!" (BSB). The parallel between the Hebrew/Aramaic and Greek terms highlights the continuity of the biblical theme of divine profundity across both Testaments. Usage: This word is used in the Aramaic portions of the Old Testament, specifically in the Book of Daniel, to describe the profound and unsearchable nature of certain divine mysteries or wisdom. Context: • The term עֲמִיק (ʿămîq) appears in the Aramaic sections of the Book of Daniel, a text that includes both Hebrew and Aramaic languages. In Daniel 2:22, the word is used to describe the nature of God's wisdom and knowledge: "He reveals the deep and hidden things; He knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with Him" (BSB). This passage highlights the divine ability to uncover mysteries that are beyond human understanding, emphasizing God's omniscience and the depth of His insight. • The use of עֲמִיק in this context underscores the theme of divine revelation in the Book of Daniel, where God imparts wisdom and understanding to Daniel, enabling him to interpret dreams and visions that are otherwise inscrutable. The term reflects the broader biblical motif of God's wisdom being profound and unsearchable, a concept that is echoed in other parts of Scripture, such as in the writings of the Apostle Paul, who speaks of the "depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God" (Romans 11:33, BSB).
