Berean Strong's Lexicon gay: Valley Original Word: גַּיְא Part of Speech: Noun Transliteration: gay Pronunciation: gah'-ee Phonetic Spelling: (gah'-ee) Definition: Valley Meaning: a gorge Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5327 (pharagx): Refers to a ravine or valley, used in the New Testament to describe geographical features. Usage: The Hebrew word "gay" refers to a valley, often a narrow gorge or ravine. It is used in the Bible to describe both literal valleys and metaphorical low points or places of danger. Valleys in biblical times were significant for their strategic military importance, agricultural value, and as places of habitation. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, valleys were crucial for agriculture due to their fertile soil and access to water. They were also common travel routes and often sites of battles due to their strategic locations. Spiritually, valleys could symbolize trials or challenges, as they were places where one might be vulnerable to attack or hardship.
