It is used in the context of natural or man-made bodies of water that gather and hold water, often for agricultural or practical purposes. The term can also imply a place of stillness and reflection, contrasting with flowing streams or rivers.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, water was a precious resource, and the ability to collect and store water was crucial for survival, especially in arid regions. Pools and ponds were essential for irrigation, livestock, and daily living. They also held symbolic significance, representing life, sustenance, and sometimes spiritual cleansing. The construction and maintenance of these water bodies were vital for community well-being and agricultural success.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/98.htm">agam</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>sad<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>grieved (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">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> [<font class="hebrew2">אָגֵם</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>sad</b></font> (compare Mishna) <font class="hebrew2">אַגְמֵינֶֿפֶשׁ</font> <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/19-10.htm">Isaiah 19:10</a>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>pond <p>Probably from the same as <a href="/hebrew/98.htm">'agam</a> (in the sense of stagnant water); figuratively, sad -- pond. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/98.htm">'agam</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>אַגְמֵי־ אגמי־ ’aḡ·mê- ’aḡmê- agmei<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/isaiah/19-10.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Isaiah 19:10</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/19.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">עֹ֥שֵׂי שֶׂ֖כֶר <b> אַגְמֵי־ </b> נָֽפֶשׁ׃ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/isaiah/19.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> laborers <span class="itali">will be grieved</span> in soul.<br><a href="/kjvs/isaiah/19.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> sluices <span class="itali">[and] ponds</span> for fish.<br><a href="/interlinear/isaiah/19-10.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> laborers the hired <span class="itali">will be grieved</span> soul<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_99.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_99.htm">Strong's Hebrew 99<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/agmei_99.htm">’aḡ·mê- — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/98.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="98"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="98" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/100.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="100"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="100" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
