Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שֶׁבַע (sheba), meaning "seven."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Shebah, as it is a specific Hebrew proper noun without a direct Greek equivalent in the Septuagint or New Testament. However, the concept of "oath" or "covenant" related to Shebah can be linked to Greek terms such as διαθήκη (diathēkē • covenant) or ὅρκος (horkos • oath) in broader theological discussions. Usage: The term "Shebah" is used in the context of a well or location named by Isaac in the Book of Genesis. Context: • Shebah is mentioned in Genesis 26:33, where it is associated with a well dug by Isaac's servants. The name "Shebah" is linked to the oath or covenant made between Isaac and Abimelech, the king of the Philistines. This event led to the naming of the city Beersheba, which means "Well of the Oath" or "Well of Seven," reflecting the covenantal significance and the number seven. The narrative highlights the importance of peace treaties and the establishment of territorial rights in the patriarchal period. The well at Shebah symbolizes God's provision and the fulfillment of His promises to Isaac, as well as the continuation of Abraham's legacy.
