Topical Lexicon
Root Idea and Scope of Usage

רָבָה threads through roughly 230 Old Testament verses, describing the growth or enlargement of people, animals, produce, wealth, wisdom, joy, sin, and even divine wrath. The verb embraces both transitive and intransitive senses, portraying either God’s active multiplication or the observable increase itself. Because the subject matter ranges from the very first blessing of creation to the closing hopes of the prophets, רָבָה is a vital key to understanding how Scripture presents blessing, prosperity, and also the tragic spread of wickedness.

Creation Mandate and Early History

Genesis introduces רָבָה as a divinely ordained principle of life:
Genesis 1:22 – “God blessed them and said, ‘Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.’”
Genesis 1:28; 9:1; 9:7 – Humanity receives the same charge after both creation and the Flood, framing multiplication as covenantal stewardship of the earth.

Even the increase of wickedness (Genesis 6:1, 5) is stated with the same verb, underscoring that multiplication, apart from obedience, can magnify corruption as well as blessing.

Patriarchal Covenant Promises

רָבָה becomes central to the Abrahamic covenant:
Genesis 17:2 – “I will make My covenant between Me and you, and I will multiply you exceedingly.”
Genesis 22:17; 26:4; 35:11; 48:4 – Descendants, land, and influence are all promised in terms of ‘multiplying.’ The verb binds the patriarchs’ faith to a future nation so numerous it defies human calculation (“like the stars of the sky and the sand on the seashore”).

Israel’s National Expansion

Exodus 1:7 portrays the fulfillment—and threat—of the covenant promise in Egypt: “But the Israelites were fruitful and increased greatly, multiplied, and became exceedingly mighty, so that the land was filled with them.” Pharaoh’s oppression (Exodus 1:12) ironically causes the people “to multiply even more.” Moses later recalls it as evidence of Yahweh’s faithfulness (Deuteronomy 1:10; 10:22).

Covenant Blessings and Curses

Leviticus 26:9 – “I will turn toward you and make you fruitful and multiply you, and I will establish My covenant with you.”

Deuteronomy 7:13; 8:1; 30:5 highlight harmonious obedience leading to increased offspring, herds, produce, and silver. Conversely, disobedience is said to “multiply” plagues (Deuteronomy 28:59) and exile (Jeremiah 15:8). Thus רָבָה operates within covenant sanctions: blessing enlarges righteousness; rebellion enlarges judgment.

Agricultural and Material Increase

The verb frequently refers to livestock (Genesis 30:30), crops (Deuteronomy 8:13), and wealth (Proverbs 15:16). Psalm 107:38 celebrates divine providence: “He blesses them, and they multiply greatly; He does not let their herds diminish.” Economic ethics appear in Proverbs 11:24 and Ezekiel 22:12, where dishonest gain “multiplies” injustice.

Wisdom Literature and Moral Dimensions

Proverbs uses רָבָה for both virtue and vice:
Proverbs 29:2 – “When the righteous flourish, the people rejoice, but when the wicked rule, the people groan.” (flourish = רָבָה)
Ecclesiastes 5:10 warns that increased goods multiply consumers, questioning materialism. The verb exposes the emptiness of mere quantitative growth apart from godliness.

Prophetic Announcements: Hope and Judgment

Positive: Isaiah foresees messianic expansion – “You have multiplied the nation and increased its joy” (Isaiah 9:3). Jeremiah 30:19; 33:22 promise an innumerable offspring and priesthood.

Negative: Jeremiah 5:6; 12:1, and Ezekiel 16:25 lament the multiplication of sins. Hosea 4:7 grimly notes, “The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me.”

Liturgical and Worship Contexts

Psalms employ רָבָה to celebrate God’s creative abundance (Psalm 104:24) and His patience when sin abounds (Psalm 65:3). The verb becomes a call to trust that the Lord alone can “increase” (Psalm 115:14).

Eschatological and Messianic Horizon

The prophetic hope of a restored, ever-increasing kingdom culminates in Ezekiel 36:10–11, where ruined cities will be filled with people “like the flocks for sacrifices,” and in Zechariah 10:8 where God whistles and “they will multiply as they were before.” These anticipations prepare the theological soil for New Testament descriptions of the church “increasing” and “multiplying” (Acts 6:7; 9:31), echoing the same divine principle embodied in רָבָה.

Practical Ministry Implications

1. Expectation of Fruitfulness: Faithful ministry trusts God to give true growth (Psalm 127:1), avoiding reliance on mere numerical strategies.
2. Stewardship of Increase: Material or numerical blessing must be surrendered back to God’s purposes (Deuteronomy 8:13–18).
3. Guarding Against the Multiplication of Sin: Leaders are exhorted to address small transgressions before they “abound” (Joshua 7; Proverbs 28:13).
4. Prayer for Multiplication: Intercession follows biblical precedent—praying both for the multiplication of disciples (Isaiah 60:22) and for love to “increase and abound” (1 Thessalonians 3:12).

רָבָה therefore stands as a divine barometer: it signals covenant fidelity when increase is guided by God’s Word and exposes covenant infidelity when abundance turns to self-sufficiency or wickedness. Through it, Scripture weaves a unified witness that genuine growth—whether of families, nations, or churches—is a gift to be received with gratitude and governed by obedience.
