Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The corresponding Greek term in the Strong's Concordance is G5303 (ὑστέρημα, husterēma), which also denotes a lack or deficiency. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe situations of need or shortfall, similar to the Hebrew concept of חֶסְרוֹן. It appears in contexts where there is a need for completion or fulfillment, often pointing to the sufficiency found in Christ and the provision of God to meet human needs.

Usage: The term חֶסְרוֹן is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a state of deficiency or lack. It is often used in contexts where there is a shortfall or absence of something necessary or expected.

Context: • The Hebrew word חֶסְרוֹן (Chesron) appears in the context of expressing a deficiency or lack. It is derived from the root חָסֵר, which conveys the idea of something being incomplete or missing. This term is used to describe situations where there is a notable absence or shortfall, whether in material goods, resources, or other aspects of life.
• In the Old Testament, the concept of deficiency is often linked to the consequences of disobedience or the natural state of human need. The term can be found in various passages where the lack of something essential is highlighted, emphasizing the dependence of humanity on divine provision and the consequences of turning away from God's commands.
• The notion of deficiency is not only physical but can also be spiritual or moral, indicating a lack of righteousness or faithfulness. This aligns with the broader biblical theme of human insufficiency apart from God's grace and provision.
