Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root כָּשַׁר (kashar), which means to succeed, to be advantageous, or to be right.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of success or advantage in the Hebrew Bible can be related to several Greek terms in the Septuagint and New Testament that convey similar meanings. While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence, terms such as εὐοδία (euodia • prosperity, success) and ὠφέλεια (opheleia • benefit, advantage) capture the essence of כִּשִׁרוֹן in the Greek context. These Greek terms are used to describe the state of being prosperous or the benefit derived from certain actions, aligning with the Hebrew understanding of success and advantage. Usage: The word כִּשִׁרוֹן is used in the context of achieving success or gaining an advantage. It is often associated with the outcome of actions that lead to prosperity or favorable results. Context: The Hebrew term כִּשִׁרוֹן (Kishron) appears in the context of wisdom literature, where it is associated with the concept of success and advantage. In Ecclesiastes 2:21, the term is used to describe the advantage or success that comes from labor and skill. The verse highlights the futility of labor when its fruits are left to someone who has not worked for them, emphasizing the transient nature of human efforts and the ultimate sovereignty of God over human endeavors. The use of כִּשִׁרוֹן in this context underscores the biblical theme that true success is not merely a result of human effort but is ultimately granted by God.
