Transliteration: `amiyq
Pronunciation: ah-MEEK

Word Origin: Derived from the root עָמַק (H6009), which means "to be deep" or "to make deep."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G899 (bathos): Often used in the New Testament to describe depth, both literal and metaphorical, such as the depth of God's wisdom (Romans 11:33).

Usage: The Hebrew word "amiq" is used to describe something that is profound, deep, or unfathomable. It often conveys a sense of depth that is not just physical but also metaphorical, such as deep thoughts, deep waters, or deep mysteries. In the biblical context, it can refer to the depth of God's wisdom, the depth of the earth, or the depth of human emotions and thoughts.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, depth was often associated with mystery and the unknown. The deep waters of the sea were seen as chaotic and dangerous, representing the unknown and the uncontrollable. Similarly, deep thoughts or wisdom were revered as they were considered to be beyond human understanding, often attributed to divine insight. The concept of depth in Hebrew thought is closely tied to the idea of something being beyond human reach or comprehension.
