Strong's Lexicon mashsheh: Loan, debt Original Word: מַשֶּׁה Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: mashsheh Pronunciation: mash-sheh Phonetic Spelling: (mash-sheh') Definition: a debt Meaning: The term מַשֶּׁה refers to a "debt" or "something lent." Word Origin: Derived from the root verb נָשָׁה (nashah), which means "to lend" or "to borrow." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 3781: ὀφειλή (opheilē) • meaning "debt" or "that which is owed." • Strong's Greek Number 3784: ὀφείλω (opheilō) • meaning "to owe" or "to be under obligation." These Greek terms similarly convey the concept of debt and obligation, paralleling the Hebrew understanding of financial and moral responsibilities. Usage: The word מַשֶּׁה is used in the context of financial transactions, specifically referring to the concept of a debt or obligation that one party owes to another. Context: The Hebrew term מַשֶּׁה appears in the context of financial dealings and obligations. It is rooted in the broader economic practices of ancient Israel, where lending and borrowing were common. The concept of debt in the Hebrew Bible is often tied to moral and ethical considerations, with laws and regulations provided to ensure fairness and prevent exploitation. For instance, the Torah includes provisions for the remission of debts during the Sabbatical year (Deuteronomy 15:1-2), emphasizing the importance of compassion and social justice. The term מַשֶּׁה, therefore, not only signifies a financial obligation but also reflects the broader societal values of mercy and equity.
