Strong's Lexicon tebel: World, Earth Original Word: תֶּבֶל Word Origin: Derived from the root יָבַל (yabal), meaning "to flow" or "to bring." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 3625 (οἰκουμένη, oikoumene): Often used in the New Testament to refer to the inhabited earth or the Roman Empire. - Strong's Greek 2889 (κόσμος, kosmos): Refers to the world, universe, or worldly affairs. Usage: The Hebrew word "tebel" is used to denote the inhabited world or the earth in a broader sense. It often emphasizes the world as a place of human habitation and activity, distinct from the heavens or the divine realm. In the biblical context, "tebel" underscores the scope of God's sovereignty and the reach of His creation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew cosmology, the earth was perceived as a flat expanse surrounded by waters, with the heavens above.
