Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root יָבֵשׁ (yabesh), meaning "to be dry."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G504: ἀναβαίνω (anabainō) • to go up, ascend; not directly related but used in contexts of rising or emerging, sometimes from water. Usage: The term יַבָּשָׂה is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to dry ground or dry land, often in contrast to water or sea. It is used in contexts where land is distinguished from water, such as the creation narrative or the crossing of the Red Sea. Context: יַבָּשָׂה (yabbashah) appears in several key biblical narratives, emphasizing God's power over creation and His ability to deliver His people. In Genesis 1:9-10, God gathers the waters to reveal the dry ground, calling it "land." This act of creation establishes the earth as a habitable place for humanity. In Exodus 14:21-22, during the Israelites' escape from Egypt, God parts the Red Sea, allowing them to walk on "dry ground" (יַבָּשָׂה) through the sea, demonstrating His miraculous provision and protection. Similarly, in Joshua 3:17, the Israelites cross the Jordan River on dry ground as they enter the Promised Land, signifying God's continued faithfulness and the fulfillment of His promises. The term is also used in Jonah 1:9, where Jonah identifies himself as a Hebrew who worships the Lord, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the dry land, highlighting God's sovereignty over all creation.
