It is often used metaphorically in the Bible to describe the outpouring of wisdom, life, or blessings. The imagery of a spring is associated with abundance, renewal, and sustenance, reflecting the life-giving properties of water in the arid landscapes of the ancient Near East.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, water was a precious and vital resource, essential for survival in the often dry and arid climate. Springs and fountains were highly valued as they provided a reliable source of fresh water. They were often seen as symbols of divine provision and blessing. In biblical literature, springs are frequently used as metaphors for spiritual truths, such as the wisdom and knowledge that flow from God.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) the same as <a href="/hebrew/5029.htm">nebi</a>, q.v.<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>prophesy <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/5012.htm">naba'</a> -- prophesy. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/5012.htm">naba'</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>וְהִתְנַבִּ֞י והתנבי נְבִיַּיָּ֔א נְבִיָּ֗א נביא נבייא nə·ḇî·yā nə·ḇî·yay·yā nəḇîyā nəḇîyayyā neviYa neviyaiYa vehitnabBi wə·hiṯ·nab·bî wəhiṯnabbî<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/ezra/5-1.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 5:1</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3"> <b> וְהִתְנַבִּ֞י </b> חַגַּ֣י [נְבִיאָה</span><br><a href="/kjvs/ezra/5.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> of Iddo, <span class="itali">prophesied</span> unto<br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/5-1.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> <span class="itali">prophesied</span> Haggai prophesied<p><b><a href="/text/ezra/5-1.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 5:1</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">[נְבִיאָה כ] <b> (נְבִיָּ֗א </b> ק) וּזְכַרְיָ֤ה</span><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/5-1.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> prophesied Haggai <span class="itali">prophesied</span> and Zechariah the son<p><b><a href="/text/ezra/5-1.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Ezra 5:1</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/5.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">[נְבִיאַיָּא כ] <b> (נְבִיַּיָּ֔א </b> ק) עַל־</span><br><a href="/interlinear/ezra/5-1.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> the son of Iddo <span class="itali">prophesied</span> was over to the Jews<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5013.htm">3 Occurrences</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_5013.htm">Strong's Hebrew 5013<br>3 Occurrences</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/neviya_5013.htm">nə·ḇî·yā — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/neviyaiya_5013.htm">nə·ḇî·yay·yā — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/vehitnabbi_5013.htm">wə·hiṯ·nab·bî — 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';
