Strong's Lexicon sega: To grow, increase, be great Original Word: שְׂגָא Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of growth and increase is "αὐξάνω" (auxanō), which also means to grow or increase. Usage: The Hebrew verb "sega" primarily conveys the idea of growth or increase, often in terms of greatness or abundance. It is used to describe the process of becoming greater or more significant, whether in size, number, or influence. This term can be applied to both physical and metaphorical contexts, such as the growth of a population, the increase of wealth, or the expansion of influence. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, growth and increase were often seen as signs of divine blessing and favor. Agricultural societies, like those in ancient Israel, viewed abundant harvests and growing flocks as evidence of God's provision. Similarly, the growth of a nation or kingdom was perceived as a reflection of divine support and approval. The concept of growth was deeply intertwined with the covenantal promises made by God to the patriarchs, where multiplication and increase were key elements of the blessings promised to Abraham and his descendants.
