Usage: The word תַּרְבּוּת is used in the context of growth and expansion, often relating to the multiplication of people or progeny. It is a term that underscores the blessing of fertility and the continuation of a lineage. Context: תַּרְבּוּת (Tarbuth) is a noun that appears in the Hebrew Bible to convey the idea of multiplication, especially in the context of progeny. This term is rooted in the divine blessing of fruitfulness, as seen in the creation narrative where God commands humanity to "be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28). The concept of תַּרְבּוּת is integral to the Abrahamic covenant, where God promises Abraham that his descendants will be as numerous as the stars in the sky (Genesis 15:5). This multiplication is not merely biological but also spiritual, as it encompasses the growth of a people set apart for God's purposes. The term reflects the biblical theme of God's providence and the fulfillment of His promises through the expansion of His chosen people.
