Strong's Lexicon menath: Portion, share, allotment Original Word: מְנָת Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: mnath Pronunciation: meh-NAHT Phonetic Spelling: (men-awth') Definition: an allotment Meaning: An allotment, portion, or share. Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מָנָה (manah), which means "to count, number, reckon, or assign." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The concept of an allotment or portion in the Hebrew Bible is paralleled in the Greek New Testament by terms such as κλῆρος (kleros, Strong's Greek 2819), which refers to a lot or portion, and μερίς (meris, Strong's Greek 3313), meaning a part or share. These Greek terms capture similar themes of inheritance and divine allocation found in the Hebrew מְנָת. Usage: The term מְנָת is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a portion or share that is assigned or allotted to someone. It often refers to a share of food, inheritance, or a designated portion of something. Context: • מְנָת (menat) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often signifying a portion that is specifically designated or assigned. This can include a physical portion of food or an inheritance. The concept of מְנָת is closely tied to the idea of divine providence and the distribution of resources or blessings. • In the Psalms, מְנָת is used metaphorically to describe the Lord as one's portion, indicating a spiritual inheritance or blessing. For example, in Psalm 16:5 (BSB), it states, "The LORD is my chosen portion and my cup; You have made my lot secure." • The term also appears in the context of the Levitical priesthood, where the priests receive a portion of the offerings as their inheritance, as seen in passages like Deuteronomy 18:8. • מְנָת underscores the biblical theme of God's provision and the equitable distribution of resources among His people, reflecting both physical sustenance and spiritual blessings.
