It conveys the idea of abundance and prosperity, reflecting God's provision and favor.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, having a "rebah" or multitude was often seen as a sign of divine blessing. This could refer to a large family, abundant crops, or numerous livestock, all of which were essential for survival and prosperity in the agrarian culture of the time. The concept of multiplication and increase is deeply rooted in the covenant promises made by God to the patriarchs, where He promised to multiply their descendants and bless them abundantly.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7235.htm">rabah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to grow great<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>became large (1), become great (2), grew large (1), grown (1), promoted (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">רְבָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>grow great</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> Syriac;
