Strong's Lexicon nabach: To bark, to cry out Original Word: נָבַח Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: nabach Pronunciation: naw-bakh' Phonetic Spelling: (naw-bakh') Definition: to bark Meaning: To bark Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that corresponds to the Hebrew נָבַח. However, the concept of noise or clamor can be found in Greek terms related to sound or voice, such as φωνή (phonē • G5456), which means "sound" or "voice," though it does not specifically refer to barking. Usage: The verb נָבַח is used in the context of dogs barking. It is a vivid term that captures the sound and action associated with dogs. Context: • The Hebrew verb נָבַח (nāvach) is a primitive root that specifically refers to the barking of dogs. This term is used metaphorically in the Hebrew Bible to describe the loud, often disruptive noise made by dogs. The imagery of barking dogs is employed to convey vigilance, disturbance, or warning. In the ancient Near Eastern context, dogs were often seen as guardians or scavengers, and their barking could signify alertness or a call to attention. • In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is not directly translated as "bark" in any specific verse, but the concept is understood in the cultural and linguistic context of the passages where dogs are mentioned. The metaphorical use of barking can be seen in prophetic literature where the noise of dogs is likened to the clamor of false prophets or the tumult of nations. • The use of נָבַח in the Hebrew Bible is limited, and its occurrences are often tied to the broader symbolism of dogs within the biblical narrative. Dogs, while not domesticated in the same way as in modern times, were familiar animals in biblical lands, and their barking was a common auditory experience for the people of that era.
