Usage: The term חַשְׁמַן is used in the context of describing individuals who possess wealth or are considered affluent.

Context: The Hebrew word חַשְׁמַן (chashman) is a term that denotes wealth or affluence. It is derived from an unused root that implies richness or abundance in material possessions. The concept of wealth in the Hebrew Bible often carries both positive and negative connotations, depending on the context. Wealth is sometimes seen as a blessing from God, a sign of His favor and provision. However, it can also be viewed as a potential source of pride and a distraction from spiritual pursuits.

In the biblical narrative, wealth is frequently associated with responsibility and stewardship. The affluent are often called to use their resources to support the community, care for the poor, and uphold justice. The Hebrew Scriptures emphasize the transient nature of material wealth and the importance of prioritizing spiritual riches over earthly possessions.

The term חַשְׁמַן is not extensively used in the Hebrew Bible, but its implications are woven throughout the text in discussions about the role and impact of wealth in society. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) reflects these themes in its translation and interpretation of passages related to wealth and prosperity.
