Strong's Lexicon rebu: Multitude, abundance, greatness Original Word: רְבוּ Word Origin: Derived from the root רָבַב (ravav), which means "to be many" or "to multiply." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "πλῆθος" (plethos), which also means multitude or abundance. Usage: The Hebrew word "rebu" is used to denote a large number or quantity, often implying greatness or abundance. It is typically used in contexts where the emphasis is on the vastness or multitude of something, whether it be people, possessions, or other entities. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of abundance was often associated with divine blessing.
