It is used in the Bible to describe both literal seas, like the Mediterranean Sea, and metaphorical or symbolic seas, representing chaos or vastness. The term can also refer to large lakes or bodies of water in general.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the sea was often seen as a symbol of chaos and disorder, contrasting with the ordered world created by the gods. In the Hebrew Bible, the sea is sometimes depicted as a place of danger and mystery, yet it is also under God's sovereign control. The Israelites, primarily a land-based people, viewed the sea with a mixture of awe and trepidation, recognizing it as part of God's creation but also as a potential source of peril.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/3220.htm">yam</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>sea<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sea (2).<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>sea <p>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/3220.htm">yam</a> -- sea. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/3220.htm">yam</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>יַמָּ֑א ימא לְיַמָּ֥א לימא lə·yam·mā leyamMa ləyammā yam·mā yamMa yammā<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/daniel/7-2.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 7:2</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">שְׁמַיָּ֔א מְגִיחָ֖ן <b> לְיַמָּ֥א </b> רַבָּֽא׃ </span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/7.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> were stirring up the great <span class="itali">sea.</span><br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/7.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> strove upon the great <span class="itali">sea.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/7-2.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> of heaven were stirring <span class="itali">sea</span> the great<p><b><a href="/text/daniel/7-3.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Daniel 7:3</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/7.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">סָלְקָ֖ן מִן־ <b> יַמָּ֑א </b> שָׁנְיָ֖ן דָּ֥א</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/daniel/7.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> were coming <span class="itali">up from the sea,</span> different<br><a href="/kjvs/daniel/7.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> came up from <span class="itali">the sea,</span> diverse one<br><a href="/interlinear/daniel/7-3.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> were coming from <span class="itali">the sea</span> different one<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3221.htm">2 Occurrences</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_3221.htm">Strong's Hebrew 3221<br>2 Occurrences</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/leyamma_3221.htm">lə·yam·mā — 1 Occ.</a><br><a href="/hebrew/yamma_3221.htm">yam·mā — 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';
