Strong's Lexicon plémmura: Flood, overflow Original Word: πλῆμμυρα Word Origin: Derived from πλήθω (pléthō), meaning "to fill" or "to overflow." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of a flood is מַבּוּל (mabbul, Strong's H3999), which is used in the context of the Genesis flood narrative. Usage: The term "plémmura" refers to a flood or an overflowing of water. It is used to describe a large, overwhelming flow of water, often with connotations of destruction or judgment. In a biblical context, it can symbolize divine judgment or overwhelming circumstances. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, floods were common natural disasters that could devastate communities, destroy crops, and lead to loss of life. The imagery of a flood is often used in biblical literature to convey the idea of overwhelming force or divine intervention. In the ancient Near East, floods were sometimes seen as acts of the gods, and in the biblical narrative, they are often associated with God's judgment or cleansing.
