Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1093 (γῆ, gē): Often translated as "earth" or "land," this Greek term is used in the New Testament to refer to the physical ground or land, similar to "yabbesheth" in the Old Testament. Usage: The term "yabbesheth" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote dry land or dry ground, often in contrast to water or sea. It emphasizes the state of being dry, which can be literal, as in the physical dryness of land, or metaphorical, symbolizing desolation or lack of life. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of dry land was significant both practically and symbolically. Practically, dry land was essential for agriculture, settlement, and survival. Symbolically, it represented order and stability, as opposed to the chaos of the sea. In the biblical narrative, the creation of dry land is a key act of God in establishing the world (Genesis 1:9-10).
