However, Greek terms related to water bodies, such as λίμνη (limnē • lake) or τέλμα (telma • marsh), may conceptually align with the idea of a reservoir or marsh. Usage: The term גֶּבֶא is used in the context of describing a body of water, specifically a reservoir or marsh. It is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible to denote a place where water is collected or pooled. Context: The Hebrew word גֶּבֶא (gebe') is found in the Old Testament and is used to describe a natural or man-made body of water, such as a reservoir or marsh. This term is indicative of a place where water is gathered, either for storage or as a natural feature of the landscape. In the ancient Near Eastern context, reservoirs were crucial for water management, especially in arid regions where water was scarce. Marshes, on the other hand, were often seen as areas of stagnant water, sometimes associated with desolation or uninhabitable land.
