Strong's Lexicon amoq: Deep Original Word: עָמַק Word Origin: Derived from the root עָמַק (amaq), which means "to be deep." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "amoq" is βάθος (bathos), which also means depth or profundity. This term appears in the New Testament, such as in Romans 11:33 (BSB): "Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!" Usage: The Hebrew word "amoq" is used to describe something that is deep, profound, or difficult to understand. It can refer to physical depth, such as a deep pit or well, as well as metaphorical depth, such as deep thoughts or profound mysteries. The term often conveys a sense of complexity or intensity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, depth was often associated with mystery and the unknown. Deep waters, for example, were seen as places of chaos and danger, but also of potential and life. The concept of depth could also symbolize wisdom and insight, as deeper understanding was valued in a society that prized knowledge and discernment.
