It is often used in the context of water or other natural elements breaking out with force. This term can also metaphorically describe the emergence or sudden appearance of something, emphasizing the power and suddenness of the action.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, water was a vital and often scarce resource, making the imagery of water bursting forth particularly vivid and significant. The concept of gushing or bursting forth is frequently associated with divine intervention or natural phenomena, reflecting the belief in God's control over nature. The imagery of water breaking forth would resonate with an agrarian society dependent on rain and springs for survival.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1518.htm">giach</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps "a spring," a place in Benjamin<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>Giah (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">גִּיחַ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>proper name, of a location</b></font> (from <em>a spring?</em>) near Gibeon in Benjamin <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/2-24.htm">2 Samuel 2:24</a>. <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>Giah <p>From <a href="/hebrew/1518.htm">giyach</a>; a fountain; Giach, a place in Palestine -- Giah. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/1518.htm">giyach</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>גִ֔יחַ גיח ḡî·aḥ Giach ḡîaḥ<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/2_samuel/2-24.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">2 Samuel 2:24</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/2.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">עַל־ פְּנֵי־ <b> גִ֔יחַ </b> דֶּ֖רֶךְ מִדְבַּ֥ר</span><br><a href="http://biblehub.com/nas/2_samuel/2.htm" title="New American Standard Bible">NAS:</a> is in front <span class="itali">of Giah</span> by the way<br><a href="/kjvs/2_samuel/2.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> that [lieth] before <span class="itali">Giah</span> by the way<br><a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/2-24.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> is in front <span class="itali">of Giah</span> the way of the wilderness<p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1520.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_1520.htm">Strong's Hebrew 1520<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/giach_1520.htm">ḡî·aḥ — 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'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/1519.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="1519"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="1519" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/1521.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="1521"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="1521" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
