Strong's Lexicon tsabeh: Swollen, bloated Original Word: צָבֵה Word Origin: Derived from the root צָבָה (tsavah), which means "to swell" or "to be swollen." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "tsabeh," the concept of swelling or being puffed up can be related to Greek words such as φυσιοῦμαι (physioomai - to be puffed up) found in the New Testament, particularly in the context of pride (e.g., 1 Corinthians 4:6, 8:1). Usage: The Hebrew word "tsabeh" is used to describe a state of being swollen or bloated. It is often used in a metaphorical sense to describe a condition of excess or overindulgence, particularly in the context of physical appearance or health. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical conditions such as swelling or bloating were often seen as signs of underlying health issues or divine displeasure. The Israelites, living in a time when medical knowledge was limited, would have viewed such conditions with concern, often associating them with spiritual or moral implications. The concept of being "swollen" could also metaphorically relate to pride or arrogance, reflecting a heart that is puffed up with self-importance.
