Strong's Lexicon mashshaon: Uplifting, support, refuge Original Word: מַשָּׁאוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root verb נָשָׁא (nasa), meaning "to lift, carry, or bear." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is καταφυγή (kataphugē), meaning "refuge" or "shelter." Usage: The term "mashshaon" is used to denote a place or means of support, refuge, or uplifting. It conveys the idea of something that provides safety, security, or a sense of being lifted up from danger or distress. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often refers to God as a refuge or source of support for His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of refuge was significant, as people often faced threats from invading armies, natural disasters, and other dangers. Cities of refuge were established as safe havens for those seeking protection. The idea of God as a refuge is a recurring theme in the Psalms and other biblical texts, reflecting the Israelites' reliance on divine protection and support.
