Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "πῖον" (pion), meaning "fat" or "rich."

Usage: The Hebrew word "bari" is used to describe something that is fat, healthy, or choice. It often conveys the idea of being well-nourished or in good condition. In a biblical context, it can refer to the physical health of individuals or the quality of livestock and produce.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, being described as "bari" was often seen as a sign of blessing and prosperity.
