Strong's Lexicon Ritsya: Delight, Favor, Acceptance Original Word: רִצְיָא Word Origin: Derived from the root רָצָה (ratsah), meaning "to delight in" or "to be pleased with." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent that captures a similar concept of favor or acceptance is εὐδοκία (eudokia), Strong's Greek 2107, which means "goodwill" or "pleasure." Usage: The term "Ritsya" is used to convey a sense of delight, favor, or acceptance, often in the context of divine favor or acceptance by God. It reflects a state of being pleasing or acceptable, particularly in the eyes of the Lord. This word is used to describe the relationship between God and His people, where His favor and delight are bestowed upon those who are obedient and faithful. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of divine favor was central to the covenant relationship between God and His people. The Israelites believed that living in accordance with God's commandments would result in His favor and blessings. This favor was not only spiritual but also manifested in material prosperity, protection, and peace. The idea of being pleasing to God was deeply embedded in the sacrificial system, where offerings were made to seek God's acceptance and favor.
