Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root עָמַק (ʿāmaq), which means "to be deep."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G899: βάθος (bathos) • This Greek term is used in the New Testament to denote depth, both in a literal sense, such as the depth of the sea, and in a metaphorical sense, such as the depth of God's wisdom and knowledge (Romans 11:33).
• G5011: ταπεινός (tapeinos) • While primarily meaning "humble" or "lowly," this term can also relate to depth in the sense of being low or deep in position or status, often used metaphorically to describe humility or lowliness of spirit.

These entries provide a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term עָמֹק, illustrating its rich usage across different contexts in the biblical text.

Usage: The word עָמֹק is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible to describe physical depth, such as deep waters or valleys, as well as metaphorical depth, such as deep thoughts or profound mysteries.

Context: • The Hebrew word עָמֹק appears in several passages throughout the Old Testament, illustrating both literal and figurative uses. For instance, in Genesis 7:11, it describes the "fountains of the great deep" during the flood narrative. In Job 11:8, it is used metaphorically to describe the unfathomable nature of divine wisdom: "They are higher than the heavens—what can you do? They are deeper than Sheol—what can you know?"
• The term is also employed in the context of human emotions and thoughts, as seen in Proverbs 20:5: "The intentions of a man’s heart are deep waters, but a man of understanding draws them out." Here, עָמֹק conveys the complexity and depth of human intentions and wisdom.
• In Ecclesiastes 7:24, the word is used to express the elusive nature of wisdom: "What exists is out of reach and very deep. Who can fathom it?" This highlights the profound and often inaccessible nature of true understanding.
• The use of עָמֹק in these contexts underscores the multifaceted nature of depth, whether it be physical, intellectual, or spiritual, and invites readers to contemplate the vastness and mystery inherent in creation and divine wisdom.
