Strong's Lexicon agmon: Reed, bulrush Original Word: אַגְמוֹן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to bend Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "agmon," the concept of a reed is captured in the Greek word κάλαμος (kalamos), Strong's Greek #2563, which also refers to a reed or a measuring rod. Usage: The Hebrew word "agmon" refers to a type of reed or bulrush, a plant commonly found in marshy or wetland areas. In the Bible, it is often used metaphorically to describe something that is pliable, weak, or easily swayed. The imagery of a reed is used to convey ideas of fragility and instability, contrasting with strength and steadfastness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, reeds were a common sight in the wetlands and along riverbanks. They were used for various practical purposes, such as making baskets, mats, and even writing materials like papyrus. The reed's flexibility and tendency to sway in the wind made it a powerful symbol for instability and weakness in biblical literature.
