While not a direct equivalent, G3041 shares the thematic element of water and can be associated with similar imagery of natural water formations, such as lakes or marshes, in the Greek New Testament context. Usage: The term אֲגַם is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe areas characterized by marshy or swampy conditions, often associated with collections of water and reeds. Context: The Hebrew word אֲגַם (agam) appears in the context of describing geographical features that are marshy or swamp-like. These areas are typically characterized by stagnant water and dense growths of reeds or rushes. The imagery of a marsh or swamp is often used in the Bible to convey desolation or a place of refuge for wildlife. In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to depict the transformation of landscapes, as seen in Isaiah 35:7: "The parched ground will become a pool, the thirsty land springs of water. In the haunt of jackals, where they lie down, there will be grass, reeds, and papyrus." This passage illustrates the miraculous transformation of barren land into fertile and life-sustaining environments, symbolizing divine intervention and blessing.
