Berean Strong's Lexicon bau: To swell, to boil up, to bubble forth Original Word: בָּעַע Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: bau Pronunciation: baw-ah' Phonetic Spelling: (baw-oo') Definition: To swell, to boil up, to bubble forth Meaning: a request Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "baʿa," similar concepts can be found in Greek words that describe swelling or rising, such as "φουσκόω" (phouskoō - to puff up) or "ζέω" (zeō - to boil, to be fervent). Usage: The Hebrew verb "baʿa" primarily conveys the idea of swelling or bubbling up, often used metaphorically to describe emotions or situations that are rising or intensifying. It can imply a sense of agitation or turmoil, whether in a physical, emotional, or spiritual context. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the imagery of swelling or bubbling was often used to describe natural phenomena, such as boiling water or rising tides, which were common and observable events. This imagery was then applied metaphorically to human experiences, such as anger, excitement, or divine intervention, reflecting the dynamic and sometimes unpredictable nature of life and emotions.
