Berean Strong's Lexicon ziyz: Abundance, moving creature Original Word: זִיז Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to move or to be prominent. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of abundance and living creatures can be related to Greek words such as "ζωή" (zōē - life) and "πληθύνω" (plēthynō - to multiply or abound). Usage: The Hebrew word "ziyz" is used to denote abundance or a moving creature, often in the context of the natural world. It conveys the idea of something that is vibrant, lively, and full of life. In the biblical context, it is used to describe the richness and diversity of God's creation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the natural world was seen as a direct reflection of God's creative power and provision. The term "ziyz" would have evoked images of the teeming life and abundance found in nature, such as flocks of birds or herds of animals. This reflects the agrarian society's reliance on and appreciation for the fertility and productivity of the land.
