Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for מִשְׁבָּר (mishbar) in the Strong's Greek lexicon, the concept of sea breakers or waves can be related to Greek terms such as κῦμα (kyma • Strong's Greek 2949), meaning "wave," which is used in the New Testament to describe the sea's tumultuous nature.

Usage: The term מִשְׁבָּר (mishbar) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the powerful and tumultuous breakers or waves of the sea. It conveys the imagery of the sea's overwhelming and forceful nature.

Context: • מִשְׁבָּר (mishbar) appears in the Hebrew Bible to depict the mighty and often fearsome breakers of the sea. This term is used metaphorically to describe situations of overwhelming distress or divine judgment, where the relentless and powerful nature of the sea's breakers serves as a vivid illustration of turmoil and chaos.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, מִשְׁבָּר is found in passages that emphasize the might and majesty of God's creation, as well as the human experience of being overwhelmed by life's challenges. The imagery of sea breakers is employed to evoke a sense of awe and reverence for the Creator, who commands even the most formidable forces of nature.
• The term is often associated with the idea of being engulfed or overwhelmed, whether by physical forces or metaphorical challenges. It serves as a reminder of the power and sovereignty of God, who is able to calm the seas and bring peace amidst the storm.
