Berean Strong's Lexicon mashiach: Anointed one, Messiah Original Word: מָשִׁיחַ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root מָשַׁח (mashach), meaning "to anoint." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5547 Χριστός (Christos): The Greek equivalent of "mashiach," used in the New Testament to refer to Jesus as the Christ, the Anointed One. Usage: The term "mashiach" refers to someone who is anointed with oil, signifying their consecration to a specific role or office. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to describe priests, kings, and sometimes prophets who were anointed as part of their divine appointment. Over time, "mashiach" came to be associated with the anticipated deliverer and king, the Messiah, who would establish God's kingdom. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, anointing with oil was a symbolic act of setting someone apart for a holy purpose. Kings like Saul and David were anointed by prophets, signifying God's choice and empowerment for leadership. The concept of a future "Anointed One" or Messiah developed during the intertestamental period, as Jewish expectations grew for a divinely appointed leader who would restore Israel and bring about God's reign on earth.
