Strong's Lexicon emeq: Valley, plain Original Word: עֵמֶק Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: `emeq Pronunciation: ay'-mek Phonetic Spelling: (ay'-mek) Definition: a vale Meaning: A vale or valley, typically referring to a broad, flat, or gently sloping area between hills or mountains. Word Origin: Derived from the root עָמַק (ʿāmaq), which means "to be deep." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1093 (γῆ, gē): While not a direct equivalent, this Greek term refers to "earth" or "land" and is often used in the New Testament to describe geographical locations, including valleys. • G5327 (φάραγξ, pharangx): This term specifically means "ravine" or "gorge" and is used in the New Testament to describe narrow valleys or deep, rugged terrain. These Greek terms, while not exact matches, provide a broader understanding of how geographical features like valleys are represented in biblical texts across both the Old and New Testaments. Usage: The term עֵמֶק (ʿēmeq) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe various valleys, often as geographical locations significant in biblical narratives. It is frequently used to denote places of battles, settlements, or divine encounters. Context: The Hebrew term עֵמֶק (ʿēmeq) appears numerous times throughout the Old Testament, often in the context of describing geographical locations that play a role in Israel's history. Valleys were significant in ancient Israel for agriculture, settlement, and as routes for travel and trade. They were also strategic locations for military encounters. Notable mentions include: • Valley of Jezreel: A fertile and strategic valley in northern Israel, often associated with battles and prophetic events (e.g., Judges 6:33). • Valley of Achor: Known as the "Valley of Trouble," it is associated with the sin of Achan and subsequent judgment (Joshua 7:24-26). • Valley of Elah: The site of the famous battle between David and Goliath (1 Samuel 17:2). In the Berean Standard Bible (BSB), the term is translated as "valley" or "vale," depending on the context. For example, in Genesis 14:3, it is referred to as the "Valley of Siddim," and in Psalm 23:4, the "valley of the shadow of death" metaphorically represents a place of deep darkness or danger.
