Strong's Lexicon mishbar: Breaker, wave, surf Original Word: מִשְׁבָּר Word Origin: From the root שָׁבַר (shabar), meaning "to break" or "to burst forth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2949 (kuma): Meaning "wave," used in the New Testament to describe the sea's waves, often in the context of storms or tumultuous situations (e.g., Matthew 8:24). Usage: The Hebrew word "mishbar" refers to the breakers or waves of the sea. It is often used metaphorically to describe overwhelming circumstances or divine judgment, illustrating the power and majesty of God as well as the tumultuous experiences of life. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the sea was often seen as a symbol of chaos and danger. The Israelites, primarily a land-based people, viewed the sea with a mixture of awe and fear. The imagery of waves and breakers was a powerful metaphor for the uncontrollable and often destructive forces of nature, which were ultimately under God's sovereign control.
