Strong's Lexicon neba: Spring, fountain, source Original Word: נְבָא Word Origin: From the root נָבַע (naba), which means "to gush forth" or "to flow." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is πηγή (pēgē), Strong's Greek #4077, which also means "spring" or "fountain." Usage: The Hebrew word "neba" refers to a natural source of water, such as a spring or fountain. It is often used metaphorically in the Bible to describe the outpouring of wisdom, life, or blessings. The imagery of a spring is associated with abundance, renewal, and sustenance, reflecting the life-giving properties of water in the arid landscapes of the ancient Near East. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, water was a precious and vital resource, essential for survival in the often dry and arid climate. Springs and fountains were highly valued as they provided a reliable source of fresh water. They were often seen as symbols of divine provision and blessing. In biblical literature, springs are frequently used as metaphors for spiritual truths, such as the wisdom and knowledge that flow from God.
