Context: The Hebrew word שָׂחוּ (sachu) appears in the context of describing a pond or pool, a place where water is gathered. This term is used to convey the idea of a collected body of water, which can be natural or man-made. In the ancient Near Eastern context, ponds and pools were significant for agricultural and domestic purposes, serving as sources of water for irrigation, drinking, and ritual purification. The imagery of a pond or pool is often used metaphorically in biblical literature to describe abundance, tranquility, or reflection. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) may not have a direct translation of this specific term, but the concept is present in various passages where water bodies are mentioned.
