Strong's Lexicon shamen: Fat, rich, fertile Original Word: שָׁמַן Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: shaman Pronunciation: shah-MEN Phonetic Spelling: (shaw-man') Definition: to shine, be, oily, gross Meaning: To shine, be oily, gross Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G4096: πιόω (pioō) • This Greek term is related to the concept of being fat or rich, similar to the Hebrew שָׁמַן (shaman). It is used in the New Testament to describe abundance or fullness, often in a metaphorical sense, aligning with the Hebrew understanding of prosperity and richness. Usage: The term שָׁמַן (shaman) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the idea of being fat, oily, or gross. It can imply physical fatness or metaphorically describe prosperity or richness. Context: • The Hebrew root שָׁמַן (shaman) primarily denotes the concept of being fat or oily. This can be understood both in a literal and metaphorical sense. In a literal sense, it refers to the physical state of being fat or having an abundance of oil, which in ancient times was often associated with prosperity and well-being. Metaphorically, it can describe a state of richness or abundance, often used to depict the prosperity of a person or nation. • In the context of the Hebrew Bible, the term is used to describe the physical state of individuals or animals, as well as the richness of the land. For example, the "fatness" of the land is a common biblical metaphor for fertility and abundance. • The concept of being "gross" or "oily" can also carry a negative connotation, suggesting excess or indulgence. This duality reflects the broader biblical theme of balance between prosperity and spiritual health. • The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) may render this term in various contexts, emphasizing either the physical or metaphorical aspects depending on the passage.
