Transliteration: Tsbo'iym
Pronunciation: tseh-boh-EEM
Phonetic Spelling: (tseb-o-eem')
Definition: Zeboiim or Zeboim

Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root צָבָא (tsavah), meaning "to swell" or "to be numerous."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Tseboim in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text.

Usage: Tseboim refers to one of the cities of the plain mentioned in the Bible, which was associated with the infamous cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. It is often listed among the cities that were destroyed by divine judgment due to their wickedness.

Cultural and Historical Background: Tseboim was one of the five cities of the plain, along with Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zoar, located in the region of the Dead Sea. These cities were known for their prosperity and subsequent moral decline, which led to their destruction by fire and brimstone as a divine act of judgment. The account of these cities serves as a moral and theological lesson on the consequences of sin and the righteousness of God's judgment.
