Definition: Portion, share, part, inheritance

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 2819 (κλῆρος, kleros): Refers to a lot, portion, or inheritance.

- Strong's Greek 3311 (μερίς, meris): Denotes a part, share, or portion.

Usage: The Hebrew word "helek" primarily refers to a portion or share of something, often in the context of inheritance or division of land. It can denote a physical portion, such as land or property, or a metaphorical share, such as one's lot in life or spiritual inheritance. The term is used to express the idea of an allotted share that is given or received, often by divine providence.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of "helek" was significant in the context of land distribution and inheritance. The Promised Land was divided among the tribes of Israel, and each tribe received its "helek" or portion. This division was not only a matter of practical living but also held spiritual significance, as the land was seen as a gift from God. The idea of a "portion" also extended to spiritual blessings and one's relationship with God, as seen in the Psalms where God Himself is described as the believer's portion.
