Strong's Lexicon chassir: lacking, wanting, deficient Original Word: חַסִּיר Word Origin: Derived from the root חָסֵר (chaser), meaning "to lack" or "to be without." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5302 (hystereō) - to lack, to be in need - G3007 (leipō) - to leave, to lack Usage: The Hebrew word "chassir" is used to describe a state of deficiency or lack. It often conveys the idea of something being incomplete or missing. In the context of the Old Testament, it can refer to material lack, such as poverty or need, as well as a lack of wisdom or understanding. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of lacking or deficiency was significant, as it often related to one's social and economic status. The community was expected to care for those who were "chassir," such as widows, orphans, and the poor, reflecting the covenantal responsibility to uphold justice and mercy. The idea of lacking also extended to spiritual and moral dimensions, where wisdom and understanding were seen as essential for a righteous life.
