Strong's Lexicon marbeh: Increase, abundance Original Word: מַרְבֶה Word Origin: From the root רָבָה (ravah), meaning "to increase" or "to multiply." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 4129: πληθύνω (plethyno) – to multiply, to increase - Strong's Greek 4052: περισσεύω (perisseuo) – to abound, to be in abundance Usage: The term "marbeh" is used to denote an increase or abundance, often in the context of growth, prosperity, or multiplication. It conveys the idea of something that is expanding or becoming greater in quantity or influence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of increase or abundance was often associated with divine blessing and favor. Agricultural societies, such as ancient Israel, viewed abundance in crops, livestock, and progeny as signs of God's provision and blessing. The idea of increase was also tied to the promises made to the patriarchs, such as the promise to Abraham that his descendants would be as numerous as the stars (Genesis 15:5).
