Strong's Lexicon razon: Leanness, thinness Original Word: רְזוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root רָזָה (razah), meaning "to be lean" or "to be emaciated." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures a similar concept of leanness or lack might be found in terms like "νηστεία" (nēsteia - fasting) or "ἀσθένεια" (astheneia - weakness), though these are not direct translations. Usage: The term "razon" is used to describe a state of being lean or thin, often implying a lack of nourishment or a condition of emaciation. It can be used both literally, to describe physical thinness, and metaphorically, to indicate a lack of spiritual or moral substance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical leanness was often associated with famine, poverty, or divine judgment. The Israelites, living in an agrarian society, understood the importance of physical sustenance and viewed leanness as a sign of hardship or divine displeasure. Spiritually, leanness could symbolize a lack of spiritual nourishment or a turning away from God's abundance.
