It conveys the idea of something diminishing or coming to a halt. Context: The Hebrew verb שָׁקַע (shaqaʿ) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, primarily conveying the notion of subsiding or diminishing. It is often used in relation to water, such as the floodwaters receding after the great deluge. For example, in Genesis 8:1, the waters "subsided" after God remembered Noah and caused a wind to pass over the earth. This term can also be applied metaphorically to describe the calming of emotions or the cessation of turmoil. In the book of Job, it is used to describe the abatement of Job's suffering and distress. The verb captures the transition from a state of intensity or overflow to one of calmness or cessation, reflecting a divine intervention or natural process that brings about peace or resolution.
