Strong's Lexicon chashrah: Lack, deficiency Original Word: חַשְׁרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָסֵר (chaser), meaning "to lack" or "to be deficient." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for concepts of lack or deficiency is ὑστέρημα (hysterēma), Strong's Greek #5303, which also conveys the idea of a shortfall or need. Usage: The term "chashrah" is used to denote a state of lacking or deficiency. It often refers to a shortfall or inadequacy in resources, strength, or spiritual condition. The word emphasizes the absence of something necessary or desired. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of lacking or deficiency was significant, as it often related to survival and well-being. A lack of resources such as food, water, or protection could lead to dire consequences. Spiritually, a deficiency in faith or righteousness was seen as a serious issue, often addressed by the prophets. The Israelites were encouraged to trust in God's provision and to seek His righteousness to overcome any deficiencies.
