Strong's Lexicon shaavah: Cry, cry for help Original Word: שַׁאֲוָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: sha'avah Pronunciation: sha-ah-vah Phonetic Spelling: (shah-av-aw') Definition: a tempest Meaning: A tempest or storm. Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁאָה (sha'ah), which means to rush or to roar. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for the Hebrew word שַׁאֲוָה. However, Greek terms related to storms or tempests, such as λαῖλαψ (G2978) meaning "tempest" or "whirlwind," may be considered conceptually similar in the context of biblical themes. Usage: The term שַׁאֲוָה is used in the context of describing a tempest or a violent storm, often metaphorically representing chaos or divine judgment. Context: The Hebrew word שַׁאֲוָה (sha'avah) appears in the Old Testament to depict a tempest, a powerful and often destructive natural phenomenon. This term is used to convey the overwhelming and uncontrollable nature of a storm, which can be seen as a manifestation of divine power or judgment. In the poetic and prophetic literature of the Bible, tempests are frequently employed as symbols of God's might and the tumultuous events that accompany His intervention in human affairs. In the Berean Standard Bible, the word is used in Job 30:15: "Terrors overwhelm me; my dignity is driven away as by the wind, and my prosperity vanishes like a cloud." Here, the imagery of a tempest underscores the sudden and devastating loss experienced by Job, reflecting the broader theme of human vulnerability before the divine. The use of שַׁאֲוָה in biblical texts serves to remind readers of the awe-inspiring and sometimes fearsome aspects of God's creation, as well as the ultimate authority and power He holds over the natural world and human destiny.
