Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "mesek," the concept of possession or inheritance can be related to Greek words such as κληρονομία (kleronomia - G2817), meaning "inheritance." Usage: The Hebrew word "mesek" is used to denote the concept of possession or acquisition. It is often associated with wealth or property that one has gathered or accumulated. In the context of the Bible, it can refer to material wealth or inheritance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, wealth and possessions were often seen as a sign of God's blessing and favor. The accumulation of property and wealth was not only a means of survival but also a way to establish one's status and legacy within the community.
