Strong's Lexicon sebok: Thicket, intertwined growth Original Word: סֹבֶךְ Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to interweave or entwine Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "sebok," the concept of thickets or dense growths can be related to Greek words like "δάσος" (dasos), meaning forest or wooded area. Usage: The Hebrew word "sebok" refers to a dense growth of bushes or trees, often forming a thicket. It conveys the idea of something that is interwoven or tangled, typically used to describe natural settings where vegetation is closely packed together. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, thickets were common in the landscape and often served as natural barriers or hiding places. They were significant in agricultural and pastoral contexts, as they could provide shelter for animals or serve as landmarks. The imagery of a thicket is also used metaphorically in the Bible to describe situations that are complex or difficult to navigate.
