Strong's Lexicon mashman: Fatness, richness Original Word: מַשְׁמָן Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: mashman Pronunciation: mash-MAHN Phonetic Spelling: (mash-mawn') Definition: Fatness, richness Meaning: fat, fatness, a rich dish, a fertile field, a robust man Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמֵן (shaman), meaning "to be fat" or "to grow fat." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "mashman," the concept of richness or abundance can be found in Greek words such as πλοῦτος (ploutos, Strong's G4149), meaning "wealth" or "riches." Usage: The term "mashman" primarily refers to fatness or richness, often used metaphorically to describe abundance, prosperity, or the best part of something. In the context of sacrifices, it can denote the choicest or richest portions offered to God. It is associated with blessing and abundance, reflecting a state of well-being and prosperity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fatness was often seen as a symbol of prosperity and divine blessing. The agricultural society valued livestock and produce, and the "fat" or "rich" portions were considered the best and most desirable. Offering the fat portions in sacrifices was a way to honor God with the best of what one had. This concept is deeply rooted in the sacrificial system outlined in the Torah, where the fat of animals was burned on the altar as a pleasing aroma to the Lord.
