Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root זיד (zid), which means "to boil" or "to act proudly."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for זֵידוֹן, related concepts can be found in Greek terms that describe water and waves, such as κῦμα (kuma, Strong's Greek 2949), meaning "wave," and θάλασσα (thalassa, Strong's Greek 2281), meaning "sea." These terms are used in the New Testament to convey similar themes of chaos and divine authority over nature.

Usage: This word is used in the context of describing the natural phenomenon of boiling water or waves, often metaphorically representing turmoil or agitation.

Context: • The Hebrew word זֵידוֹן (Zēidōn) is a noun that captures the imagery of boiling or turbulent waters, akin to waves. This term is rooted in the concept of agitation or pride, as seen in its etymological connection to the root זיד (zid). In the Hebrew Bible, water often symbolizes chaos or divine judgment, and the use of זֵידוֹן can evoke the power and unpredictability of the sea. The metaphorical use of boiling or waves can also reflect human emotions or situations characterized by unrest or upheaval. While the specific term זֵידוֹן may not appear frequently in the biblical text, its conceptual relatives are prevalent, underscoring themes of divine power over creation and the tumultuous nature of life.
