Topical Lexicon

G3975: παχύνομαι (pachýnomai) • to make fat, to become fat

These Greek terms reflect similar themes of abundance and satisfaction, paralleling the Hebrew concept of דָּשֵׁן (dāšēn) in the New Testament context.

Usage: • The verb דָּשֵׁן (dāšēn) is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible, often related to the idea of abundance, richness, or satisfaction. It can refer to the physical act of fattening or anointing, as well as metaphorically to being satisfied or enriched.

Context: • The Hebrew root דָּשֵׁן (dāšēn) appears in several forms throughout the Old Testament, conveying a range of meanings associated with richness and abundance. In its most literal sense, it refers to the process of fattening, as seen in agricultural contexts where animals are fattened for slaughter or sacrifice. This idea extends metaphorically to describe a state of being well-nourished or satisfied, often used in a spiritual or emotional sense.

• The term is also used in the context of anointing, where oil is applied to a person or object, symbolizing consecration or blessing. This usage underscores the connection between physical richness and spiritual blessing, as anointing with oil was a common practice in ancient Israel for setting apart priests, kings, and sacred objects.

• Additionally, דָּשֵׁן (dāšēn) can refer to ashes, particularly in the context of sacrificial offerings. The ashes left after a burnt offering are considered a residue of the offering's richness, symbolizing the complete consumption and transformation of the sacrifice.

• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used in various passages to convey these themes. For example, in Proverbs 11:25, "A generous soul will prosper, and he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed," the concept of being "refreshed" aligns with the idea of being satisfied or enriched.
