Strong's Lexicon shamen: Fat, rich, fertile Original Word: שָׁמַן Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: shaman Pronunciation: shah-MEN Phonetic Spelling: (shaw-man') Definition: Fat, rich, fertile Meaning: to shine, be, oily, gross Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמַן (shaman), which means "to be fat" or "to grow fat." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of "shamen" can be related to the Greek word "πλουτέω" (plouteo - Strong's Greek 4147), which means "to be rich" or "to have abundance." Usage: The Hebrew word "shamen" is used to describe something that is fat, rich, or fertile. It often refers to the physical state of being well-nourished or abundant. In a broader sense, it can also imply prosperity or blessing, as fatness was historically associated with wealth and abundance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fatness was often seen as a sign of prosperity and divine blessing. The agricultural society valued fertile land and abundant harvests, which were considered gifts from God. The concept of "shamen" would have been understood as a positive attribute, reflecting God's provision and favor.
