Berean Strong's Lexicon achuzzah: Possession, property, inheritance Original Word: אֲחֻזָּה Word Origin: Derived from the root אָחַז (achaz), meaning "to seize" or "to hold." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - κλῆρος (kleros): Often translated as "lot" or "inheritance," used in the Septuagint to convey similar concepts of possession and inheritance. - κληρονομία (kleronomia): Meaning "inheritance," used in the New Testament to describe the spiritual inheritance of believers. Usage: The term "achuzzah" primarily refers to land or property that is held as a possession or inheritance. It is often used in the context of the land allotted to the tribes of Israel, signifying a permanent and divinely ordained inheritance. The concept of "achuzzah" underscores the importance of land as a tangible sign of God's promise and blessing to His people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, land was a critical component of identity, security, and sustenance. The division of the Promised Land among the tribes of Israel was a fulfillment of God's covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Land was not merely an economic asset but a sacred trust, meant to be preserved within families and tribes. The Year of Jubilee, as described in Leviticus 25, was a time when land was to be returned to its original family owners, emphasizing the idea that the land ultimately belonged to God and was only held in stewardship by the people.
