Original Word: הָוה
Part of Speech: Noun Feminine
Transliteration: hovah

Word Origin: Derived from the root הָוָה (havah), which means "to fall" or "to be."
Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of "hovah" can be related to Greek words such as καταστροφή (katastrophē - Strong's Greek 2692), meaning "overthrow" or "destruction," which is used in the New Testament to describe divine judgment.
Usage: The Hebrew word "hovah" is used to denote calamity, ruin, or disaster. It conveys a sense of impending doom or mischief that leads to destruction. In the biblical context, it often refers to the consequences of sin or divine judgment upon nations or individuals who turn away from God's commandments.
Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of "hovah" would have been understood as a direct result of disobedience to God's laws. The Israelites believed that adherence to the covenant with God would bring blessings, while disobedience would lead to disaster. This understanding is rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where blessings and curses were clearly outlined (see Deuteronomy 28)
