Strong's Lexicon Giach: To burst forth, to break out, to gush Original Word: גִּיַחַ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 1607 (ekchuno): To pour out, to shed - Strong's Greek 4482 (rheo): To flow, to stream Usage: The Hebrew verb גִּיחַ (Giach) primarily conveys the action of bursting forth or gushing out. It is often used in the context of water or other natural elements breaking out with force. This term can also metaphorically describe the emergence or sudden appearance of something, emphasizing the power and suddenness of the action. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, water was a vital and often scarce resource, making the imagery of water bursting forth particularly vivid and significant. The concept of gushing or bursting forth is frequently associated with divine intervention or natural phenomena, reflecting the belief in God's control over nature. The imagery of water breaking forth would resonate with an agrarian society dependent on rain and springs for survival.
