Strong's Lexicon adaph: To remain over, to have excess, to abound Original Word: עֲדַף Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4052 (περισσεύω, perisseuō): To abound, to be in excess - G4121 (πλεονάζω, pleonazō): To increase, to abound Usage: The Hebrew verb "adaph" primarily conveys the idea of something that remains over or is in excess. It is often used in contexts where there is a surplus or abundance, particularly in relation to food or resources. The term can imply a blessing of abundance or the practical management of resources, ensuring that nothing is wasted. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of surplus was significant, especially in an agrarian culture where the harvest's yield determined a community's survival and prosperity. The idea of having more than enough was often seen as a sign of divine blessing. The management of surplus was also important, as it could be used to support the community, provide for the poor, and ensure sustainability during times of scarcity.
