Berean Strong's Lexicon mamthaqqim: Sweetness, delights Original Word: מַמְתַּקִּים Word Origin: Derived from the root מָתַק (matak), meaning "to be sweet" or "to be pleasant." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "mamthaqqim," the concept of sweetness or delight can be found in Greek words such as γλυκύς (glykys - Strong's Greek 1099), meaning "sweet." Usage: The term "mamthaqqim" refers to things that are sweet or delightful, often used in a metaphorical sense to describe pleasantness or charm. It conveys a sense of something that is pleasing to the senses or spirit. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, sweetness was often associated with desirable qualities and experiences. Honey, for example, was a common symbol of abundance and blessing. The use of "mamthaqqim" in biblical texts often reflects this cultural appreciation for sweetness as a metaphor for goodness, beauty, and divine favor.
