A stream or watercourse (Jeremiah 17:8)
This poetic noun designates a flowing stream or brook. Jeremiah uses it to describe the blessed person who trusts in the Lord, pictured as a tree planted by a stream of water. The term appears in parallel with 'water' (mayim), reinforcing the imagery of constant water supply. Unlike a dry wadi that flows only seasonally, this yûḇal provides reliable moisture, enabling the tree to remain green even during drought.
Senses
1. sense 1 — A flowing stream or watercourse that provides constant irrigation, used in Jeremiah's metaphor of the righteous person as a well-watered tree (Jer 17:8). The image contrasts with the shrub in the desert, emphasizing reliable divine provision through all seasons. 1×
