<p> ''''' a ''''' - ''''' bound ''''' ´, ''''' a ''''' - ''''' bun´dans ''''' , ''''' a ''''' - ''''' bun´dant ''''' , ''''' a ''''' - ''''' bun´dant ''''' - ''''' li ''''' : These words represent in the English [[Versions]] of the Bible a considerable variety of different words in the [[Hebrew]] and Greek original. In the Old [[Testament]] they most frequently stand for some form of the stem <i> ''''' rābh ''''' </i> , signifying "to cast together," "to increase." In &nbsp;Proverbs 8:24 the primary idea is "to be heavy" (root: <i> ''''' kābhadh ''''' </i> ); in &nbsp;Deuteronomy 33:19 and &nbsp; Job 22:11 it is "to overflow" <i> ''''' shāpha‛ ''''' </i> ; in &nbsp;Job 36:31 it is "to plait together," "to augment," "to multiply" ( <i> ''''' makhbı̄r ''''' </i> from <i> ''''' kā ''''' </i> - <i> ''''' bhar ''''' </i> ); in &nbsp;Isaiah 47:9 it is "strength" <i> ''''' ‛ocmāh ''''' </i> ; in &nbsp;1 Kings 18:41 it is "tumult," "crowd" <i> ''''' hāmōn ''''' </i> ; in &nbsp;Ecclesiastes 5:12 it is "to fill to satiety" (Revised Version (British and American) "fulness"); in &nbsp; Isaiah 15:7 it is "excellence" <i> ''''' yithrāh ''''' </i> and in &nbsp;Isaiah 66:11 "a full breast" <i> ''''' zı̄z ''''' </i> ; in &nbsp;Jeremiah 33:6 it is "copiousness" ( <i> ''''' ‛ăthereth ''''' </i> from <i> ''''' ‛āthar ''''' </i> ). In several passages (e.g. &nbsp;Ezekiel 16:49; &nbsp;Psalm 105:30; &nbsp;Isaiah 56:12 ) the Revised Version (British and American) gives other and better renderings than the King James Version. In the New Testament <i> ''''' perissós ''''' </i> , <i> ''''' perisseúō ''''' </i> , <i> ''''' perisseı́a ''''' </i> , etc., are the usual words for "abundant," "abound," "abundance," etc. (the adjective signifies "exceeding some number or measure"). A slight formal difference of conception may be noted in <i> ''''' pleonázō ''''' </i> , which suggests that the abundance has resulted from augmentation. In &nbsp;Romans 5:20 the two words stand in the closest connection: 'Where sin abounded (by its increase) grace abounded more exceedingly (was rich beyond measure).' In &nbsp; Mark 12:44; &nbsp;Luke 21:4; &nbsp;2 Corinthians 8:20; &nbsp;2 Corinthians 12:7; &nbsp;Revelation 18:3 the Revised Version (British and American) gives improved renderings instead of "abundance," and in &nbsp; Titus 3:6 and &nbsp; 2 Peter 1:11 instead of "abundantly." </p>
