Strong's Lexicon omeq: Depth, deep place Original Word: עֹמֶק Word Origin: Derived from the root עָמַק (ʿamaq), which means "to be deep" or "to make deep." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - βάθος (bathos) - Strong's Greek 899: Refers to depth, often used in the New Testament to describe the deep things of God or the depth of His wisdom and knowledge (e.g., Romans 11:33). Usage: The Hebrew word "ʿomeq" refers to physical or metaphorical depth. It is used to describe the deep places of the earth, the profoundness of wisdom, or the intensity of emotions. In the Bible, it often conveys the idea of something being beyond human reach or understanding, emphasizing the vastness or complexity of God's creation and wisdom. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, depth was often associated with mystery and the unknown. The deep places of the earth, such as the sea or the underworld (Sheol), were seen as realms beyond human control or comprehension. This concept of depth also extended to wisdom and knowledge, which were considered deep and unfathomable, much like the mysteries of God.
