It can refer to a large number of people or things, or to someone who holds a position of authority or prominence. As an adjective, it describes abundance or magnitude, while as a noun, it can refer to a leader or someone of high status.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of "greatness" was often associated with leadership, authority, and abundance. The term "rab" was used to describe not only the physical abundance of resources or people but also the social and political stature of individuals. Leaders such as military captains or tribal chiefs were often referred to as "rab" to signify their importance and authority.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/7232b.htm">rabab</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>an archer<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>archer (1), arrows (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> III.
