Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence in the Greek Strong's entries for the Hebrew הֶמְיָה, similar concepts can be found in Greek words that describe noise or sound, such as θόρυβος (Strong's Greek 2351), which means noise or uproar, often used in the New Testament to describe the sound of a crowd or tumult.

Usage: The word הֶמְיָה is used in the context of describing a sound or noise, particularly that of a crowd or a multitude. It is used to depict the audible expression of a group, often in a setting of unrest or agitation.

Context: • The Hebrew word הֶמְיָה appears in the Old Testament to describe the sound of a multitude. It is a noun that captures the essence of a collective noise, often associated with the bustling or murmuring of a crowd. This term is used to convey the atmosphere of a scene where many voices or sounds blend into a continuous hum or murmur.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, הֶמְיָה is translated in contexts that emphasize the auditory experience of a gathering or assembly. The word is evocative of the natural human response to the presence of a large group, where individual voices merge into a singular, indistinct sound.
• The use of הֶמְיָה in the biblical text serves to highlight the dynamic and sometimes chaotic nature of human gatherings, reflecting both the energy and the potential for unrest inherent in large groups.
