Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: A primitive root

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G4482 (ῥέω, rheō): To flow, to run, often used in the New Testament to describe the act of flowing or streaming, similar to the Hebrew concept of flowing freely.
G4511 (ῥύσις, rhysis): A flowing, issue, or flux, particularly used in the context of a bodily discharge, as seen in the New Testament account of the woman with the issue of blood (Mark 5:25).

This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term זוּב (zûb), illustrating its various applications and significance within the biblical text.

Usage: The verb זוּב (zûb) is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, often describing the physical act of flowing or leaking, as well as metaphorically to describe conditions of wasting away or excessive outpouring.

Context: • The root זוּב (zûb) appears in several contexts throughout the Old Testament, primarily in the Pentateuch and the Prophets. It is often associated with bodily discharges, both natural and pathological, as seen in Levitical laws concerning purity. For example, in Leviticus 15:2, the term is used to describe a man with a bodily discharge: "Speak to the Israelites and tell them: When any man has a bodily discharge, the discharge is unclean."
• The term is also used metaphorically to describe the wasting away or depletion of resources, as in the context of a land or nation suffering from a lack of sustenance or prosperity.
• In a broader sense, זוּב (zûb) can describe the overflowing of abundance, whether it be positive, such as blessings, or negative, such as curses or plagues.
• The concept of flowing or leaking is central to the understanding of זוּב (zûb), emphasizing the uncontrolled or continuous nature of the action, whether it be liquid, wealth, or other resources.
