Strong's Lexicon hava': To become, to be, to exist Original Word: הָוָא Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "to be" or "to become" is "γίνομαι" (ginomai - Strong's 1096), which carries a similar meaning of coming into existence or being made. Usage: The Hebrew verb "hava'" primarily conveys the idea of becoming or existing. It is often used in contexts where something comes into being or is established. This verb is less common than its counterpart "hayah" (Strong's 1961), which also means "to be" or "to become," but it carries a similar connotation of existence or transformation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "being" or "becoming" was deeply tied to the understanding of God's creative power and the unfolding of His will in the world. The verb "hava'" reflects the dynamic nature of existence as perceived in the Hebrew worldview, where life and creation are seen as processes initiated and sustained by God.
