great

Rootרבב (r-b-b)
Core Meaningsmultiplicity, abundance, greatness, increase, magnitude
Semantic Rangegreat, many, numerous, abundant, mighty, important, chief, extensive, long (of time), sufficient
Conceptual Significanceרַב expresses the biblical concept of abundance and greatness—whether in number, power, status, or duration. It often marks social rank (e.g., chief, captain), divine magnitude, or overwhelming quantity, highlighting the cultural value placed on increase and prominence within Israel’s worldview.
Morphological NotesAdjective, masculine singular absolute (HAamsa). Functions attributively or substantivally to describe a singular masculine noun or entity as abundant or great.
Rendering RationaleThe adjective רַב derives from the root רבב, conveying the idea of abundance or multiplicity extended into greatness. The form here is masculine singular absolute, so the rendering "great" reflects a singular masculine quality of magnitude or prominence without adding number or gender not present in English adjectives.
