Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G3584: ξηραίνω (xērainō) • This Greek term is used in the New Testament to convey the idea of drying up or withering, similar to the Hebrew יָבֵשׁ. It appears in contexts such as the withering of the fig tree in Matthew 21:19: "Seeing a lone fig tree by the road, He went up to it but found nothing on it except leaves. 'May you never bear fruit again!' He said. And immediately the tree withered." Usage: The term יָבֵשׁ is used in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible, often describing the drying up of natural elements like rivers, land, or vegetation. It can also be used metaphorically to describe a state of desolation or spiritual barrenness. Context: יָבֵשׁ (yāvēš) is a verb found in the Hebrew Bible, primarily conveying the concept of dryness or desiccation. It appears in various forms and contexts, illustrating both literal and figurative dryness. For instance, in Genesis 8:7, the term is used to describe the drying of the earth after the flood: "And the dove came to him in the evening, and behold, in her mouth was a freshly plucked olive leaf. So Noah knew that the waters had receded from the earth." Here, the drying of the earth signifies the end of God's judgment and the beginning of renewal.
