Strong's Lexicon hamon: Multitude, crowd, abundance, noise, tumult Original Word: הָמוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root הָמָה (hamah), meaning "to make a noise" or "to roar." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3793: ὄχλος (ochlos) - crowd, multitude - G4128: πλῆθος (plethos) - multitude, great number Usage: The Hebrew word "hamon" primarily denotes a large group or multitude, often used to describe a crowd of people or an abundance of things. It can also refer to the noise or tumult associated with such a gathering. In a broader sense, "hamon" can imply wealth or abundance, reflecting the idea of a large quantity or great number. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of a "multitude" or "abundance" was significant in both social and economic contexts. Large gatherings were common during religious festivals, battles, and public events. The noise and tumult of a crowd were often seen as a sign of vitality and prosperity. In the agrarian culture of the Israelites, abundance in crops and livestock was a sign of divine blessing.
