Strong's Lexicon mashab: Thought, plan, device Original Word: מַשְׁאָב Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שׁוּב (shuv), meaning "to return" or "to turn back." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "διάνοια" (dianoia), which also refers to thought, intention, or mind. Usage: The Hebrew word "mashab" refers to a thought, plan, or device, often implying a mental process or intention. It is used to describe the inner workings of the mind, particularly in the context of devising plans or forming intentions. The term can carry both positive and negative connotations, depending on the context in which it is used. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of thought and intention was deeply intertwined with one's moral and spiritual state. The heart (לֵב, lev) was considered the seat of thought and intention, and thus, "mashab" would be closely related to the heart's inclinations. In a society where actions were seen as extensions of one's inner thoughts, the purity or corruption of one's "mashab" was of significant importance.
