Berean Strong's Lexicon nabluth: Fading, withering, foolishness Original Word: נַבְלוּת Word Origin: Derived from the root נבל (nabal), which means "to fade" or "to wither." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is μαραίνω (maraino), which also means "to wither" or "to fade." Usage: The term "nabluth" is used to describe a state of decay or decline, often in a moral or spiritual sense. It conveys the idea of something that is losing its vitality or integrity, akin to a plant that is withering away. In a broader sense, it can also refer to foolishness or moral degradation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the imagery of plants and their life cycles was commonly used to convey spiritual truths. The concept of withering or fading was often associated with the consequences of sin or disobedience to God. This metaphor would resonate with an agrarian society that understood the importance of healthy, thriving plants for sustenance and survival.
