It is associated with the concept of abundance and multitude. Context: The Hebrew verb רָבַב (rabab) is a primitive root that primarily signifies the action of increasing or multiplying. It is often used in contexts where growth or expansion is emphasized, whether it be in terms of people, blessings, or other forms of abundance. The term is frequently found in passages that describe God's promise to multiply the descendants of the patriarchs, reflecting the covenantal blessings of fruitfulness and prosperity. For example, in Genesis 16:10, the angel of the LORD promises Hagar, "I will greatly multiply your offspring so that they will be too numerous to count." This usage underscores the divine assurance of growth and the fulfillment of God's promises to His people.
