It is used metaphorically to describe profound or unfathomable depths, often in a spiritual or moral context. The term conveys the idea of something being deep, vast, and beyond human reach or understanding.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Greek culture, the sea was often seen as a place of mystery and danger, representing chaos and the unknown. The depths of the sea, or "buthos," were considered the realm of sea creatures and deities, and were often associated with the concept of the abyss. In Jewish thought, the sea could symbolize chaos and evil, contrasting with the order and goodness of creation.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>akin to <a href="/greek/899.htm">bathos</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>the bottom, the depth<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>deep (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 1037: βυθός</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">βυθός</span></span>, <span class="greek2">βυθοῦ</span>, <span class="greek2">ὁ</span>, <span class="accented">the bottom</span> (of a ditch or trench, <span class="abbreviation">Xenophon</span>, oec. 19, 11);
