Strong's Lexicon Yabesh: To be dry, to wither, to become dry Original Word: יָבֵשׁ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3583 (ξηραίνω, xērainō): To dry up, to wither - G3584 (ξηρός, xēros): Dry, withered Usage: The Hebrew verb "Yabesh" primarily means "to be dry" or "to wither." It is used in the context of describing the drying up of physical objects, such as land, plants, or bodies of water. The term can also metaphorically describe a state of lifelessness or desolation, often used to signify spiritual barrenness or judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, dryness and withering were often associated with judgment or divine displeasure, as fertility and water were seen as blessings from God. The concept of dryness was significant in a largely agrarian society where the prosperity of crops and livestock depended heavily on adequate rainfall and fertile land. Thus, "Yabesh" could symbolize both physical and spiritual conditions, reflecting the people's dependence on God's provision.
