However, Greek terms that convey similar meanings of density or thickness might be used in the Septuagint or New Testament contexts, depending on the specific passage and its thematic elements. Usage: The verb עָבָה (ʿāḇâ) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe something that is dense or thick, often in a physical sense, such as clouds or smoke. Context: The Hebrew root עָבָה (ʿāḇâ) appears in the Old Testament to convey the idea of density or thickness. This term is often used in contexts where the physical properties of an object or substance are being described. For example, in the context of clouds, the word suggests a heaviness or fullness, indicating a sky filled with thick clouds. The term can also be applied metaphorically to describe the intensity or abundance of something, such as smoke or foliage.
