Strong's Lexicon yem or yemim: Sea, seas Original Word: יֵם Word Origin: Derived from the root יָם (yam), meaning "sea." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2281 (θάλασσα, thalassa) – Sea - G3041 (λίμνη, limne) – Lake, sea Usage: The Hebrew word "yem" or "yemim" is used to denote a large body of water, typically referring to a sea. In the biblical context, it often signifies the Mediterranean Sea, the Red Sea, or other significant bodies of water known to the ancient Israelites. The term can also be used metaphorically to describe chaos or vastness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the sea was both a source of sustenance and a symbol of mystery and danger. The Israelites, primarily a land-based people, viewed the sea with a mixture of awe and trepidation. It was a place of trade and travel but also of storms and unknown depths. The sea often represented the boundary between the known world and the unknown, and it was sometimes associated with chaos and disorder, as seen in ancient Near Eastern mythology.
