Strong's Lexicon hustereó: To lack, to fall short, to be in need, to fail. Original Word: ὑστερέω Word Origin: From the Greek word ὕστερος (hysteros), meaning "later" or "after." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H2637 (חָסֵר, chaser): To lack, to be without. - H4270 (מַחְסוֹר, machsor): Need, poverty, lack. Usage: The verb "hustereó" primarily conveys the idea of lacking or being deficient in something. It can refer to material needs, such as lacking food or resources, as well as spiritual or moral deficiencies. The term is often used in the New Testament to describe situations where individuals or groups fall short of God's standards or expectations. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of lacking or falling short was not only a material concern but also a moral and philosophical one. The idea of deficiency was often linked to the pursuit of virtue and the ideal of self-sufficiency. In the Jewish context, lacking could also imply a failure to meet the covenantal obligations or to live up to the righteousness required by the Law. HELPS Word-studies 5302 hysteréō (from 5306 /hýsteros, "last") – properly, at "the end," i.e. coming behind (to "be posterior, late"); (figuratively) coming behind and therefore left out; left wanting (falling short). 5302 /hysteréō ("failing to fulfill a goal") means to be in lack and hence, unable to meet the need at hand because depleted ("all run out"). This state of lack (insufficiency, privation) naturally results when a person misses out on what is vital.
