It can imply a sense of agitation or turmoil, whether in a physical, emotional, or spiritual context.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the imagery of swelling or bubbling was often used to describe natural phenomena, such as boiling water or rising tides, which were common and observable events. This imagery was then applied metaphorically to human experiences, such as anger, excitement, or divine intervention, reflecting the dynamic and sometimes unpredictable nature of life and emotions.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>(Aramaic) from <a href="/hebrew/1156.htm">bea</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a petition<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>petition (2).<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">בָּעוּ</font> (K<sup>§ 61, 4</sup>) <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>petition</b></font> (<font class="hebrew2">ᵑ7</font> Syriac);
