Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root verb נָסָה (nasah), which means "to test" or "to prove."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms in Strong's Concordance, the concept of abundance or liberality in the New Testament can be related to Greek terms such as περισσεύω (perisseuō • Strong's Greek 4052), which means "to abound" or "to be in abundance," and πλουτέω (plouteō • Strong's Greek 4147), meaning "to be rich" or "to have abundance." These Greek terms capture similar themes of generosity and plentiful provision found in the Hebrew מִסָּה.

Usage: The word מִסָּה is used in the context of describing the provision or distribution of resources or blessings in a generous or abundant manner.

Context: • The Hebrew term מִסָּה appears in the Old Testament to describe the concept of abundance or liberality, often in the context of God's provision or the distribution of resources among people. It is associated with the idea of giving or receiving in a manner that is not limited or restrained, reflecting a sense of generosity and plenty.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to illustrate the abundant provision that God offers to His people, emphasizing His generosity and the overflowing nature of His blessings. This concept is often linked to the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where God promises to provide for His people in a manner that exceeds their needs.
• The usage of מִסָּה in the biblical text underscores the importance of recognizing God's provision and responding with gratitude and faithfulness. It serves as a reminder of the divine generosity that characterizes God's interactions with His creation.
