It can also denote depth in a more abstract sense, such as the depth of wisdom or understanding. In the biblical context, valleys were significant for agriculture, habitation, and as strategic locations in military campaigns.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, valleys were crucial for sustaining life due to their fertile soil and access to water. They were often sites of battles, settlements, and trade routes. The topography of the land of Israel, with its numerous valleys, played a significant role in the historical and cultural development of the region. Valleys were also symbolic in biblical literature, representing both physical and spiritual low points or challenges.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/6009.htm">amoq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>deep, unfathomable<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>unintelligible (3).<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">עָמֵק</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>deep, unfathomable</b></font>;
