It is used in the context of stagnant or collected waters, often implying a natural or man-made reservoir. The term can denote a place where water gathers, either temporarily or permanently, and is often associated with fertility and life in arid regions.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near East, water was a precious resource, and the presence of pools or marshes was vital for sustaining life, agriculture, and livestock. Pools and marshes were often seen as symbols of abundance and divine blessing. In the arid climate of the biblical lands, the collection and management of water were crucial for survival, making terms like "agam" significant in the cultural and historical context of the Bible.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from an unused word<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a marsh, muddy pool<br><span
