- βάθος báthos · G899 · depth, deep, deep place
- Greek βάθος emphasizes measurable depth or profundity (spatial or metaphorical extent downward), while Hebrew תַּחְתִּי specifies positional lowness or nethermost location (bottom-most parts of earth/sea/Sheol); both denote downward spatial extension but תַּחְתִּי is inherently superlative-positional where βάθος is degree-scalar.
