Strong's Lexicon plémmura: Flood, overflow Original Word: πλῆμμυρα Part of Speech: Noun, Feminine Transliteration: plémmura Pronunciation: PLAYM-moo-rah Phonetic Spelling: (plame-moo'-rah) Definition: a flood. Meaning: The term πλῆμμυρα refers to a "flood" or "inundation," typically describing an overwhelming flow of water that covers land. Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb πλημμυρέω (plēmmyreō), meaning "to overflow" or "to flood." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • H3999 מַבּוּל (mabbul): Refers to a deluge or flood, most notably used in the context of the Great Flood during Noah's time. • H7858 שֶׁטֶף (sheteph): Meaning "flood" or "overflow," often used metaphorically to describe overwhelming forces or events. • H4325 מַיִם (mayim): While primarily meaning "water," it is used in contexts that describe bodies of water or floods. In summary, πλῆμμυρα captures the essence of a flood's power and its potential to transform landscapes, both physically and metaphorically, within the biblical narrative. Usage: The word πλῆμμυρα is used in the context of describing natural phenomena, particularly floods, which can symbolize divine judgment or overwhelming circumstances. Context: The Greek term πλῆμμυρα appears in biblical literature to describe a significant and often destructive flow of water. In the context of the Bible, floods are frequently associated with divine intervention or judgment. For instance, the Great Flood in the time of Noah is a prominent example of how floods are used to convey themes of judgment and renewal. Although the specific term πλῆμμυρα is not directly used in the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of flooding is prevalent throughout the Scriptures. Floods serve as a metaphor for overwhelming trials or divine retribution, as seen in various passages where God uses natural elements to execute His will or demonstrate His power. The imagery of a flood can also symbolize the overwhelming nature of God's blessings or the abundance of His provision, contrasting the destructive potential of literal floods with the life-giving "flood" of divine grace.
