Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be eminent or distinguished.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for מֶגֶד, the concept of valuable or distinguished things can be related to the Greek word ὥρα (hōra), Strong's Greek Number G5610, which refers to a season or time, often implying the right or opportune moment for something valuable or significant to occur. This connection highlights the thematic link between the timing of harvests and the value of the produce, both seen as blessings in their respective cultural contexts. Usage: The term מֶגֶד is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote something of high value or distinction, often in the context of blessings or the bounty of the land.
