Hebrew-English Dictionary

Strongs: H3999

Hebrew: מַבּוּל

Transliteration: mabbûwl

Pronunciation: mab-bool'

Part of Speech: Noun Masculine

Bible Usage: flood.

Definition:

a deluge

1. flood, deluge.

a. Noah's flood that submerged the entire planet earth under water for about a year ++++ Some think Noah's flood was only local. However the description of it found in Gen. 6 through 8 makes this patently absurd. If it was local, Noah had 120 years to migrate out of the area to safe ground! Why waste all that effort building a ship? With the possible exception of Ps. 29:10, this word always refers to Noah's flood.
