This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew word נֵד, highlighting its significance in biblical texts and its metaphorical implications in the depiction of divine power and natural phenomena.

Usage: The word נֵד is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe physical formations such as mounds or waves, often in the context of natural phenomena or metaphorical language.

Context: • The Hebrew word נֵד appears in the context of describing natural formations that are elevated or undulating. It is often used metaphorically to describe the power and majesty of natural forces, such as the sea. For instance, in Exodus 15:8, the term is used to describe the waters of the Red Sea standing up like a heap during the Israelites' crossing: "At the blast of Your nostrils the waters piled up; the flowing waters stood like a wall; the deep waters congealed in the heart of the sea."
• The imagery of a "mound" or "wave" is significant in biblical literature, as it often symbolizes divine intervention or the manifestation of God's power over creation. The use of נֵד in poetic and narrative texts underscores the dynamic and sometimes tumultuous nature of God's interaction with the world.
• In the broader biblical narrative, the concept of a mound or wave can also be seen as a representation of obstacles or challenges that are overcome through faith and divine assistance.
