It signifies a cataclysmic event characterized by overwhelming waters that covered the earth, as described in the Genesis account. The word is used to convey the idea of divine judgment and the cleansing of the earth from widespread corruption and violence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, floods were often seen as acts of divine intervention. The biblical flood narrative in Genesis 6-9 is unique in its theological emphasis on God's covenant with Noah and the promise never to destroy the earth with a flood again. This account has parallels in other ancient cultures, such as the Mesopotamian Epic of Gilgamesh, but the biblical account focuses on themes of righteousness, judgment, and redemption.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>of uncertain derivation<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a flood<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>flood (13).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> <font class="hebrew2">מַבּוּל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Genesis 7:6</sup> <font size="+1"><b>flood</b></font> in time of Noah (Late Hebrew <em>id.</em>; Jewish-Aramaic <font class="hebrew2">מַבּוּלָא</font>; Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb055001.gif">; derivation dubious; Thes and others √ <font class="hebrew2">יבל</font>, but improbable, see Dl<sup>Prol. 122 f.</sup>; possibly old Assyrian (Babylonian) loan-word (yet form unkn. in Assyrian ), or from √ <font class="hebrew2">נבל</font> = Assyrian <i><em>nabâlu</em></i>, <em>destroy</em> Dl<sup>HWB 443 f.</sup>; compare Dl<sup>Par. 156; Prol. 122</sup> Che<sup>Psalm 29:10 critical note, Hebraica. iii. 3, 175 f.</sup>, O.
