Strong's Lexicon kishron: Skill, Success, Ability Original Word: כִּשִׁרוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּשַׁר (kashar), meaning "to be successful" or "to prosper." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of skill or ability can be related to Greek words such as σοφία (sophia, G4678) meaning "wisdom," or τέχνη (techne, G5078) meaning "art" or "skill." Usage: The Hebrew word "kishron" refers to skill, ability, or success in a particular endeavor. It is often used to describe the capability or proficiency that leads to successful outcomes. In the context of the Old Testament, it can denote both practical skills and the wisdom or insight necessary to achieve success. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, skill and ability were highly valued, especially in crafts, leadership, and warfare. The concept of "kishron" would have been associated with the God-given talents and abilities that individuals were expected to cultivate and use for the benefit of the community and the glory of God. The Israelites believed that true success and skill were gifts from God, and they were to be used in accordance with His will.
