Strong's Lexicon marashah: Possession, inheritance Original Word: מַרְאָשָׁה Word Origin: Derived from the root verb יָרַשׁ (yarash), meaning "to possess" or "to inherit." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is κληρονομία (kleronomia), which also means "inheritance" or "possession." Usage: The term "marashah" refers to something that is possessed or inherited, often in the context of land or property. It signifies the idea of ownership and the transfer of property from one generation to another, highlighting the importance of heritage and legacy in biblical times. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, land was a critical component of identity and survival. It was not only a source of sustenance but also a symbol of God's promise and blessing. The concept of inheritance was deeply embedded in the social and legal systems, with land being passed down through family lines. This ensured the continuity of family heritage and the fulfillment of God's covenant with His people. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as meraashoth, q.v.
