Word Origin: Derived from the root דָּשֵׁן (dāshēn), which means to be fat or to anoint.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G18 (ἀγαθός, agathos): Often translated as "good," this Greek term can relate to the concept of abundance and blessing, similar to "deshen."
• G4096 (πίων, piōn): Meaning "fat" or "rich," this word aligns with the idea of prosperity and abundance.
• G4700 (στέαρ, stear): Refers to "fat" or "richness," particularly in a physical or metaphorical sense, akin to the Hebrew "deshen."

In summary, Strong's Hebrew Number 1880, "deshen," encompasses themes of abundance, prosperity, and the sacredness of sacrificial remains, reflecting the multifaceted nature of God's provision and blessing in the biblical narrative.

Usage: The word "deshen" appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often symbolizing prosperity and blessing. It is used to describe the richness of the land, the abundance of God's provision, and the remains of sacrificial offerings.

Context: • Fatness and Abundance: In the Hebrew Bible, "deshen" is frequently associated with prosperity and divine blessing. For instance, in Psalm 36:8 (BSB), it is written, "They feast on the abundance of Your house, and You give them drink from Your river of delights." Here, "abundance" translates from "deshen," indicating the richness and generosity of God's provision.
• Ashes of Sacrifices: In the context of sacrificial rituals, "deshen" refers to the ashes left after offerings are burned on the altar. These ashes were considered holy and were handled with specific instructions, as seen in Leviticus 6:10-11 (BSB): "The priest is to put on his linen robe, with linen undergarments next to his body, and he is to remove the ashes of the burnt offering that the fire has consumed on the altar and place them beside it."
• Symbolism of Fertility and Growth: The term also metaphorically represents fertility and growth, as seen in agricultural contexts. In Isaiah 55:2 (BSB), the prophet uses "deshen" to convey the idea of spiritual nourishment and satisfaction: "Why spend money on that which is not bread, and your labor on that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good, and your soul will delight in the richest of foods."
