Berean Strong's Lexicon rob: Abundance, multitude, greatness, plenty Original Word: רֹב Word Origin: Derived from the root verb רָבַב (ravav), meaning "to be many" or "to multiply." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4124 (plēthos): Often used in the New Testament to denote a multitude or large number, similar to the Hebrew "rob." - G4050 (perisseia): Meaning abundance or surplus, reflecting the idea of overflowing or exceeding. Usage: The Hebrew word "rob" primarily denotes a sense of abundance or multitude. It is used to describe a large quantity or great number of something, whether it be people, possessions, or abstract concepts like wisdom or peace. The term often conveys the idea of overflowing or exceeding what is usual or expected. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, abundance was often seen as a sign of divine blessing and favor. The Israelites, living in a land dependent on seasonal rains, viewed agricultural abundance as a direct result of God's provision. Similarly, a multitude of descendants was considered a fulfillment of God's promises to the patriarchs, such as Abraham. The concept of abundance also extended to wisdom and spiritual blessings, reflecting a holistic view of prosperity.
