Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to flow or to inundate.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent of מַבּוּל is found in Strong's Greek Number G2627, κατακλυσμός (kataklysmos), which also means a flood or deluge. This term is used in the New Testament, particularly in the context of referring back to the flood of Noah as a historical and theological event, such as in Matthew 24:38-39 and 2 Peter 2:5. These references highlight the flood as a paradigm of divine judgment and a precursor to eschatological themes in Christian theology. Usage: The term מַבּוּל is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the catastrophic flood that covered the earth during the time of Noah. It is primarily found in the book of Genesis and Psalms. Context: • The word מַבּוּל appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that describe a divine judgment through a cataclysmic flood. The most notable occurrence is in Genesis 6-9, where it describes the flood that God sent to destroy all life on earth due to humanity's wickedness, sparing only Noah, his family, and the animals aboard the ark. This event is pivotal in biblical history, symbolizing both judgment and salvation.
