4194. maveth

Strong's Lexicon

maveth: Death

Original Word: מָוֶת
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: maveth
Pronunciation: MAH-veth
Phonetic Spelling: (maw'-veth)
Definition: Death
Meaning: death, the dead, their place, state, pestilence, ruin

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מוּת (muth), meaning "to die."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2288 (θάνατος, thanatos) – death

- G599 (ἀποθνῄσκω, apothnēskō) – to die

Usage: The Hebrew word "maveth" primarily denotes the concept of death, both in a literal and metaphorical sense. It is used to describe physical death, the cessation of life, and is often contrasted with life. Additionally, "maveth" can symbolize spiritual death or separation from God, as well as the consequences of sin.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, death was seen as a natural part of life but also as a consequence of sin, stemming from the Fall of Man in Genesis. The Israelites had a profound understanding of death's inevitability and its spiritual implications. Death was often associated with Sheol, the abode of the dead, and was considered a transition to another state of existence. The hope of resurrection and eternal life was a developing concept in the Old Testament, later fully revealed in the New Testament.
