Strong's Greek entries such as G4215 (potamos) for "river" and G5204 (hudor) for "water" capture similar imagery.<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew word "yabbal" refers to a stream or watercourse, often used metaphorically to describe the flow of blessings or prosperity. It conveys the idea of a continuous, life-giving source, much like a stream that nourishes the land and sustains life.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In the arid climate of the ancient Near East, water was a precious resource, essential for survival and prosperity. Streams and watercourses were vital for agriculture, providing irrigation for crops and sustenance for livestock. The imagery of a stream was often used in Hebrew poetry and prophecy to symbolize abundance, fertility, and divine blessing. The presence of a stream could transform a barren wilderness into a fertile land, making it a powerful symbol of God's provision and care.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2986.htm">yabal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a running, suppurating<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>running sore (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">יַבָּל</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>adjective</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>running, suppurating</b></font> — only feminine singular as substantive, <font class="hebrew2">יַבֶּלֶת</font> <em>a running sore</em> or <em>ulcer</em> <a href="/interlinear/leviticus/22-22.htm">Leviticus 22:22</a> (+ <font class="hebrew2">עַוֶּרֶת</font>, <font class="hebrew2">שָׁבוּר</font>, <font class="hebrew2">חָרוּץ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">גָּרָב</font>, <font class="hebrew2">יַלֶּפֶת</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>having running sores<p>From <a href="/hebrew/2986.htm">yabal</a>;
