Berean Strong's Lexicon mimshach: Anointing, spreading out, expansion Original Word: מִמְשָׁח Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מָשַׁח (mashach), meaning "to anoint" or "to smear." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of anointing is χρίσμα (chrisma), Strong's Greek 5545, which also refers to anointing or the anointed one, particularly in the context of the New Testament. Usage: The term "mimshach" is used to denote the act or state of anointing, often associated with the consecration of individuals or objects for a sacred purpose. It can also imply a sense of spreading or expansion, which is metaphorically linked to the influence or authority granted through anointing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, anointing was a significant ritual act, symbolizing the setting apart of individuals for divine service. Kings, priests, and prophets were anointed as a sign of their divine appointment and empowerment. The oil used in anointing was often a mixture of olive oil and spices, signifying the richness and sanctity of the act. Anointing was not only a physical act but also carried deep spiritual implications, representing the presence and favor of God.
