Usage: The term רֶגֶב is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to a clump or lump of earth, often in the context of agricultural or natural imagery. Context: רֶגֶב (regev) appears in the Hebrew Bible as a noun denoting a clump or lump of clay. This term is used to describe the physical composition of the earth, emphasizing its tangible and malleable nature. In the context of biblical literature, רֶגֶב is often associated with the imagery of creation and the earth's fertility. The word appears in poetic and prophetic texts, where it serves to illustrate the power and majesty of God's creation, as well as the transient nature of human life in comparison to the enduring earth. The imagery of רֶגֶב can also symbolize the humble origins of humanity, formed from the dust of the ground. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is translated to reflect its literal meaning, maintaining the connection to the earth and its elemental properties.
