Strong's Lexicon tavah: To sink, to drown, to settle, to plunge Original Word: תָּוָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2670 καταποντίζω (katapontizō) - to sink, to drown - G1036 βυθίζω (buthizō) - to plunge, to sink Usage: The Hebrew verb "tavah" primarily means to sink or to drown. It is used in the context of something being submerged or overwhelmed by water. The term can also imply being settled or fixed in a particular place, often with a connotation of being overwhelmed or engulfed. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, water was often seen as a symbol of chaos and danger, as well as a source of life. The act of sinking or drowning would have been a powerful image of being overcome by chaos or destruction. This imagery is consistent with the ancient Near Eastern understanding of the sea as a place of uncertainty and peril.
