### Core Meaning & Semantic Range
The Hebrew word **ʻăthereth**, represented by `{{H6283}}`, means **copiousness** or **abundance**. It is a very rare term, appearing only **1 time** in **1 unique verse** in the entire Bible. Its singular appearance highlights a specific divine promise of overwhelming blessing.
### Biblical Occurrences & Contextual Analysis
The sole use of `{{H6283}}` is found in a prophecy of restoration in [[Jeremiah 33:6]]. In this passage, the LORD promises to bring health `{{H724}}` and cure `{{H4832}}` to His people. Following this promise of healing, God declares He will "reveal unto them the **abundance** of peace and truth." The word is therefore directly linked to a divine act of revelation and the restoration of a state of complete well-being, characterized by peace `{{H7965}}` and truth `{{H571}}`.
### Related Words & Concepts
The meaning of `{{H6283}}` is illuminated by the words surrounding it in its only context:
* `{{H1540}}` **gâlâh** (to reveal, uncover): This is the action performed on the abundance. God doesn't just provide it; He actively **reveals** it, as He does with His secret plans for the prophets [[Amos 3:7]] or His righteousness [[Isaiah 56:1]].
* `{{H7965}}` **shâlôwm** (peace, welfare, prosperity): This is one of the two elements found in abundance. It signifies not just an absence of conflict but a complete state of welfare and safety, as seen in God's thoughts toward His people [[Jeremiah 29:11]] and His covenant of **peace** [[Isaiah 54:10]].
* `{{H571}}` **ʼemeth** (truth, stability, trustworthiness): This is the second element of the revealed abundance. It points to certainty and faithfulness, a foundational characteristic of God Himself, who is "abundant in goodness and **truth**" [[Exodus 34:6]].
### Theological Significance
Though appearing just once, `{{H6283}}` carries significant theological weight within its context of divine restoration.
* **A Revealed Blessing:** The abundance is not something earned or found, but something God chooses to **reveal** `{{H1540}}`. This underscores that true, copious peace and truth are gifts originating from God's sovereign will [[Jeremiah 33:6]].
* **The Zenith of Healing:** The promise of an "abundance of peace and truth" comes directly after a promise to bring "health and cure" `{{H4832}}`. This suggests that the ultimate goal of God's restorative work is not merely physical healing, but a comprehensive state of spiritual and relational well-being.
* **Qualities of the Divine Nature:** The abundance is specifically of peace and truth, two core aspects of God's character. It is an overflowing of His own nature, where He gives His people a full measure of the very stability `{{H571}}` and welfare `{{H7965}}` that define Him ([[Exodus 34:6]], [[Isaiah 26:3]]).
### Summary
In summary, **ʻăthereth** `{{H6283}}`, while exceptionally rare, provides a powerful image of God's overflowing generosity. Its single use in [[Jeremiah 33:6]] frames "abundance" not as material wealth, but as a divinely revealed deluge of **peace** `{{H7965}}` and **truth** `{{H571}}`. It represents the climax of God's promise of healing and restoration, demonstrating that His desire is to provide a complete and secure state of well-being for His people.
