It is used to describe the process of becoming greater or more significant, whether in size, number, or influence. This term can be applied to both physical and metaphorical contexts, such as the growth of a population, the increase of wealth, or the expansion of influence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the ancient Near Eastern context, growth and increase were often seen as signs of divine blessing and favor. Agricultural societies, like those in ancient Israel, viewed abundant harvests and growing flocks as evidence of God's provision. Similarly, the growth of a nation or kingdom was perceived as a reflection of divine support and approval. The concept of growth was deeply intertwined with the covenantal promises made by God to the patriarchs, where multiplication and increase were key elements of the blessings promised to Abraham and his descendants.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) corresponding to <a href="/hebrew/7679.htm">saga</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to grow great<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>abound (2), increase (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">שְׂגָא</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>grow great</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ס</font>, Syriac <img src="/bdbgif/bdb111303a.gif">;
