It can refer to the literal depth of the sea or earth, as well as the profoundness of God's wisdom, knowledge, and riches. The term conveys a sense of something that is immeasurable or unfathomable, often used to highlight the vastness and incomprehensibility of divine attributes or truths.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the concept of depth was often associated with mystery and the unknown. The sea, with its unfathomable depths, was a common metaphor for the mysterious and the divine. In the biblical context, "βάθος" is used to express the infinite and inscrutable nature of God, contrasting human limitations with divine omniscience and omnipotence.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/greek/901.htm">bathus</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>depth<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>deep (1), deep water (1), depth (5), depths (1).<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">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 899: βάθος</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">βάθος</span></span>, <span class="greek2">βαθέος</span> (<span class="greek2">βάθους</span>), <span class="greek2">τό</span> (connected with the obsolete verb <span class="greek2">βάζω</span>, <span class="greek2">βάω</span> (but cf. <span class="abbreviation">Curtius</span>, § 635; <span class="abbreviation">Vanicek</span>, p. 195); cf. <span class="greek2"><span class="lexref">βαθύς</span></span>, <span class="greek2">βάσσων</span>, and <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">βυθός</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> <span class="greek2">βύσσος</span>; German <span class="foreign">Boden</span>), <span class="accented">depth, height</span> — (accusative, as measured down or up); <p><span class="textheading">1.</span> properly: <a href="/interlinear/matthew/13-5.htm">Matthew 13:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/mark/4-5.htm">Mark 4:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/romans/8-39.htm">Romans 8:39</a> (opposed to <span class="greek2">ὕψωμα</span>); <a href="/interlinear/ephesians/3-18.htm">Ephesians 3:18</a> (opposed to <span class="greek2">ὕψος</span>); of 'the deep' sea (the 'high seas'), <a href="/interlinear/luke/5-4.htm">Luke 5:4</a> <p><span class="textheading">2.</span> metaphorically: <span class="greek2">ἡ</span> <span class="greek2">κατά</span> <span class="greek2">βάθους</span> <span class="greek2">πτωχεία</span> <span class="greek2">αὐτῶν</span>, <span class="accented">deep,</span> extreme, <span class="accented">poverty,</span> <a href="/interlinear/2_corinthians/8-2.htm">2 Corinthians 8:2</a>; <span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">βάθη</span> <span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">Θεοῦ</span> <span class="accented">the deep things of God,</span> things hidden and above man's scrutiny, especially the divine counsels, <a href="/interlinear/1_corinthians/2-10.htm">1 Corinthians 2:10</a> (<span class="greek2">τοῦ</span> <span class="greek2">Σατανᾶ</span>, <a href="/interlinear/revelation/2-24.htm">Revelation 2:24</a> <span class="manuref">Rec.</span>; <span class="greek2">καρδίας</span> <span class="greek2">ἀνθρώπου</span>, Judith 8:14; (<span class="greek2">τά</span> <span class="greek2">βαθα</span> <span class="greek2">τῆς</span> <span class="greek2">θείας</span> <span class="greek2">γνώσεως</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Clement of Rome</span>, 1 Cor. 40, 1 [ET] (cf. <span class="abbreviation">Lightfoot</span> at the passage))); inexhaustible abundance, immense amount, <span class="greek2">πλούτου</span>, <a href="/interlinear/romans/11-33.htm">Romans 11:33</a> (so also <span class="abbreviation">Sophocles</span> Aj. 130; <span class="greek2">βαθύς</span> <span class="greek2">πλοῦτος</span>, <span class="abbreviation">Aelian</span> v. h. 3, 18; <span class="greek2">κακῶν</span> (<span class="abbreviation">Aeschylus</span> Pers. 465, 712); <span class="abbreviation">Euripides</span>, Hel. 303; the <span class="manuref">Sept.</span> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/18-3.htm">Proverbs 18:3</a>).<FOOTNOTE:1> <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>deepness, depth. <p>From the same as <a href="/greek/901.htm">bathus</a>; profundity, i.e. (by implication) extent; (figuratively) mystery -- deep(-ness, things), depth. <p>see GREEK <a href="/greek/901.htm">bathus</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>βάθει βαθέων βαθη βάθη βαθος βάθος βαθους βάθους bathe bathē báthe báthē bathos báthos bathous báthous<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/matthew/13-5.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Matthew 13:5</a> <a href="/abbrev.htm" title="Noun -
