Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root גֵּו (gev), which refers to the back or body.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for גֵּוָה in the Strong's Greek lexicon, as the concept of "back" or "body" is often contextually translated in the Septuagint and New Testament using different Greek terms depending on the specific nuance required. However, Greek terms such as σῶμα (soma, Strong's Greek 4983) for "body" or νῶτον (noton, Strong's Greek 3577) for "back" may be used in similar contexts. Usage: The word גֵּוָה is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the physical back of a person or the body in a more general sense. It appears in contexts that highlight the physicality or vulnerability of a person. Context: The Hebrew term גֵּוָה (gevah) is a noun that appears in the Old Testament to describe the back or body of a person. It is a term that emphasizes the physical aspect of human beings, often used in poetic or metaphorical contexts to convey vulnerability or the human condition. For instance, in Job 30:18, the term is used to describe the physical suffering and affliction experienced by Job: "By great force my garment is distorted; it binds me about as the collar of my coat." Here, the imagery of the garment clinging to the body underscores the intense physical and emotional distress Job endures.
