Berean Strong's Lexicon tarbuth: Increase, multiplication, abundance Original Word: תרבות Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: tarbuth Pronunciation: tar-BOOTH Phonetic Spelling: (tar-booth') Definition: Increase, multiplication, abundance Meaning: multiplication, progeny Word Origin: Derived from the root רָבָה (ravah), meaning "to increase" or "to multiply." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of increase or abundance is "πληθύνω" (plethyno), which means "to multiply" or "to increase." This term is used in the New Testament to describe the growth of the early church and the multiplication of believers (e.g., Acts 6:7). Usage: The Hebrew word "tarbuth" generally refers to the concept of increase or multiplication, often in the context of growth, prosperity, or abundance. It can be used to describe the increase of wealth, offspring, or other forms of prosperity. The term emphasizes the idea of flourishing and expansion, which is a recurring theme in the Hebrew Scriptures, particularly in relation to God's blessings upon His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the idea of increase and abundance was closely tied to God's covenantal promises. The Israelites viewed prosperity, whether in terms of offspring, livestock, or crops, as a sign of divine favor and blessing. This concept is deeply rooted in the agrarian society of the time, where multiplication of resources was essential for survival and success. The notion of "tarbuth" would have resonated with the Israelites as a tangible expression of God's faithfulness and provision.
