Strong's Lexicon yabbal: Stream, watercourse Original Word: יַבֵּל Word Origin: From the root יָבַל (yabal), meaning "to bring" or "to carry." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "yabbal," the concept of streams and flowing water is present in the New Testament. Strong's Greek entries such as G4215 (potamos) for "river" and G5204 (hudor) for "water" capture similar imagery. Usage: The Hebrew word "yabbal" refers to a stream or watercourse, often used metaphorically to describe the flow of blessings or prosperity. It conveys the idea of a continuous, life-giving source, much like a stream that nourishes the land and sustains life. Cultural and Historical Background: In the arid climate of the ancient Near East, water was a precious resource, essential for survival and prosperity. Streams and watercourses were vital for agriculture, providing irrigation for crops and sustenance for livestock. The imagery of a stream was often used in Hebrew poetry and prophecy to symbolize abundance, fertility, and divine blessing. The presence of a stream could transform a barren wilderness into a fertile land, making it a powerful symbol of God's provision and care.
