Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root כּוֹשֵׁר (kosher), which implies being right, proper, or fitting.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for כּוֹשָׁרָה, related concepts can be found in Greek terms such as εὐδαιμονία (eudaimonia • happiness, prosperity) and ἐλευθερία (eleutheria • freedom). These Greek terms capture similar themes of well-being and liberation, reflecting the broader biblical narrative of God's desire for His people to live in a state of blessedness and freedom.

Usage: The word כּוֹשָׁרָה is used in the context of describing a state of prosperity or freedom, often in relation to the well-being of individuals or communities. It is not frequently found in the Hebrew Bible, making its occurrences significant for understanding the biblical perspective on prosperity and freedom.

Context: The Hebrew term כּוֹשָׁרָה (koshara) is a noun that encapsulates the concepts of prosperity and freedom. In the biblical context, prosperity is often seen as a blessing from God, associated with righteousness and obedience to divine commandments. The notion of freedom, on the other hand, is linked to liberation from physical, spiritual, or social constraints. The use of כּוֹשָׁרָה in the Hebrew Scriptures reflects a holistic view of well-being, where material success is intertwined with spiritual and moral integrity. The term underscores the biblical theme that true prosperity is not merely material wealth but includes peace, security, and the favor of God.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the concept of prosperity is often connected with God's covenant promises, where obedience leads to blessings, and disobedience results in curses. The idea of freedom is similarly tied to the deliverance that God provides, whether from physical bondage, such as the Exodus from Egypt, or from spiritual oppression.
