In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe those who are skilled in the art of seafaring, often associated with trade and transportation across bodies of water.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient times, sailors played a crucial role in the economy and connectivity of civilizations. The Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, and other bodies of water were vital for trade routes, and sailors were essential for the transport of goods, people, and cultural exchanges. The Israelites, though primarily a land-based people, interacted with maritime cultures such as the Phoenicians, who were renowned for their seafaring skills.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/4417.htm">melach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a mariner<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>sailors (4).<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">מַלָּח</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>mariner</b></font> (loan-word from Assyrian <i><em>mala—u</em></i> Dl<sup>HWB 412</sup> compare Id<sup>Proverbs 1.178</sup>; Hal<sup>ZA iv. 1880, 53</sup>; so also Aramaic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb057201.gif"> (see Brock.), whence Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb057202.gif"> Frä<sup>221</sup>); — plural <font class="hebrew2">מַלָּחִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/jonah/1-5.htm">Jonah 1:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/27-29.htm">Ezekiel 27:29</a>; <font class="hebrew2">מַלָּחַיִךְ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/27-27.htm">Ezekiel 27:27</a>; <font class="hebrew2">מַלָּחֵיהֶם</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/27-9.htm">Ezekiel 27:9</a> (Ba<sup>NB 49 Anm. 3</sup>); — <em>mariners, sailors</em> of ship going to Tarshish <a href="/interlinear/jonah/1-5.htm">Jonah 1:5</a> (compare <font class="hebrew2">רַב הַחֹבֵל</font> <a href="/interlinear/jonah/1-6.htm">Jonah 1:6</a>); to Tyre <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/27-9.htm">Ezekiel 27:9</a>, compare <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/27-27.htm">Ezekiel 27:27</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/27-29.htm">Ezekiel 27:29</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">חֹבְלִים</font>). <p><font class="hebrew2">מִלְחָמָה</font> see I. <font class="hebrew2">לחם</font>. <br><br><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/bsoft2.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe><div class="vheading2">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>mariner <p>From <a href="/hebrew/4414.htm">malach</a> in its second.
