Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root יָבֵשׁ (yabesh), meaning "to be dry."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 1093: γῆ (gē) • earth, land Usage: The term יַבֶּשֶׁת is used in the context of describing dry land, particularly in contrast to bodies of water. It is a term that appears in Aramaic portions of the Hebrew Bible. Context: יַבֶּשֶׁת (yabbeshet) is an Aramaic term found in the Hebrew Bible, specifically in the book of Daniel, which contains sections written in Aramaic. The word is used to denote dry land, emphasizing the distinction between land and sea. This term is significant in biblical narratives where the separation of land from water is a recurring theme, symbolizing order and the establishment of habitable space for humanity. The concept of dry land is foundational in the creation narrative, where God gathers the waters to reveal the dry ground, allowing for the flourishing of life. In the book of Daniel, the use of Aramaic reflects the historical and cultural context of the Babylonian exile, where Aramaic was a lingua franca of the region. The term יַבֶּשֶׁת underscores the continuity of God's creation and providence, even in a foreign land.
