Word Origin: Derived from the root עין (ayin), which means "to flow" or "to spring forth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 4077 • πηγή (pēgē): A spring, fountain, or well. • Strong's Greek Number 5453 • φρέαρ (phrear): A well or pit, often used in the context of a water source. These Greek terms capture similar concepts of natural water sources, emphasizing their importance in both physical and spiritual contexts within the biblical narrative. Usage: The term מַעְיָן is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a natural source of water, such as a spring or fountain. It often symbolizes life, sustenance, and renewal, reflecting the essential role of water in the arid landscapes of the biblical world. Context: The Hebrew word מַעְיָן (ma'yan) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often highlighting the significance of water as a life-giving resource. In Genesis 16:7, the angel of the LORD finds Hagar by a spring (מַעְיָן) in the desert, illustrating the provision and sustenance that springs offer in desolate places. In Proverbs 5:15, the imagery of a fountain is used metaphorically to encourage faithfulness and satisfaction within one's own marriage: "Drink water from your own cistern, and running water from your own well." The word also appears in the context of blessings and abundance, as seen in Deuteronomy 8:7, where the Promised Land is described as "a land with streams and pools of water, with springs (מַעְיָן) flowing in the valleys and hills." This imagery underscores the prosperity and divine favor associated with the land. The concept of a fountain is further enriched by its symbolic use in the Psalms and the Prophets, where it often represents spiritual renewal and divine grace. For instance, in Isaiah 58:11, the LORD promises to guide and satisfy the soul, making it "like a well-watered garden, like a spring (מַעְיָן) whose waters never fail."
