Strong's Lexicon giach: To burst forth, to break out, to gush Original Word: גּיחַ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "giach," the concept of bursting forth can be related to Greek words like "ἐκχέω" (ekcheo - to pour out) or "ἀναβλύζω" (anabluzo - to gush forth). Usage: The Hebrew verb "giach" primarily conveys the action of bursting forth or gushing out. It is often used in contexts where something emerges suddenly and forcefully, such as water from a spring or a newborn from the womb. The term can also imply a sense of vigorous or dynamic movement. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the imagery of water bursting forth was a powerful symbol of life and renewal. Springs and rivers were vital for survival in the arid regions of the Near East, and their sudden emergence was often seen as a divine blessing. Similarly, the birth of a child was a moment of great joy and significance, often described with vivid language to capture the intensity and wonder of the event.
