Strong's Lexicon dashen: To be fat, to grow fat, to anoint, to enrich Original Word: דָּשֵׁן Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "dashen," the concept of anointing and blessing can be related to Greek words such as "χρίω" (chriō - Strong's G5548), meaning to anoint. Usage: The Hebrew verb "dashen" primarily conveys the idea of becoming fat or rich, often in a metaphorical sense. It can refer to physical fatness, but more commonly, it is used to describe prosperity, abundance, or being well-nourished. In some contexts, it also implies anointing or enriching, suggesting a state of blessing or favor. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, fatness was often associated with prosperity and blessing. Livestock that were well-fed and fat were considered valuable, and similarly, a person who was "fat" in the metaphorical sense was seen as blessed with abundance and favor. The concept of anointing with oil, which is related to "dashen," was a significant ritual act, symbolizing consecration and the bestowal of divine favor.
