Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּרָא (bara'), which means "to create" or "to make fat."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G791 (asaleutos): While not a direct translation, this Greek term means "unshaken" or "firm," which can metaphorically relate to the stability and robustness implied by בָּרִיא. Usage: The word בָּרִיא appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe animals or individuals that are well-fed and in good condition. It is often used in contexts where physical health and abundance are emphasized. Context: • The term בָּרִיא (bariy') is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a state of physical well-being and abundance. It is often associated with animals that are prepared for sacrifice or consumption, indicating that they are in prime condition. For example, in Genesis 41:2, the word is used to describe the "fat cows" in Pharaoh's dream, symbolizing years of plenty. The use of בָּרִיא in this context underscores the contrast between abundance and scarcity, as the dream also features lean cows that devour the fatted ones.
