It can imply a sense of respect, authority, or lineage.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, names held significant meaning and were often used to convey attributes, lineage, or divine relationships. The use of "abi" or "obi" in names or titles reflects the patriarchal structure of society, where the father was seen as the head of the family and a figure of authority. This term is often found in the context of genealogies or in theophoric names, where it signifies a connection to God as a father figure.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/5666.htm">abah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>thickness<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>massive* (1), thick (3), thickness (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">עֲבִי</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>thickness</b></font>; — construct <font class="hebrew2">נַּבֵּי מָגִנָּיו</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">ע</font> <a href="/interlinear/job/15-26.htm">Job 15:26</a> <em>the thickness</em> (stoutness) <em>of the bosses</em> of his shields (in figurative); suffix <font class="hebrew2">עָבְיוֺ</font> <em>its thickness</em>, of the molten sea <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/7-26.htm">1 Kings 7:26</a> 2Chronicles 4:5; of pillar <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/52-21.htm">Jeremiah 52:21</a>. — 2Chronicles 4:17 see following — Under <font class="hebrew2">עבה</font> belongs perhaps also <font class="hebrew2">בְּעַב הֶעָנָן</font> <a href="/interlinear/exodus/19-9.htm">Exodus 19:9</a> (read <font class="hebrew2">בַּעֲבִי</font> ?) in <em>the thickness</em> of the clouds, compare Bu<sup>ThLz 1892</sup> (3), 63 Kö<sup>ii 1, 86</sup>. <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>thickness <p>Or mobiy {ob-ee'}; from <a href="/hebrew/5666.htm">abah</a>; density, i.e. Depth or width -- thick(-ness).
