Strong's Lexicon maseth: Tribute, burden, lifting up, elevation Original Word: משׂאֵת Word Origin: Derived from the root נָשָׂא (nasa), meaning "to lift, carry, or bear." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5411 (φόρος, phoros) - tribute, tax - G5485 (χάρις, charis) - grace, favor, gratitude Usage: The Hebrew word "maseth" generally refers to something that is lifted up or carried. It can denote a physical burden or tribute, as well as a figurative elevation or exaltation. In the context of the Bible, it often refers to offerings or tributes given to God or to a ruler. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, offerings and tributes were a significant part of religious and social life. Tributes were often given to rulers as a sign of submission or allegiance, while offerings were presented to God as acts of worship and devotion. The concept of lifting up or elevating something was symbolic of honor and reverence.
