Berean Strong's Lexicon oseph: Gathering, collection Original Word: אֹסֵף Word Origin: Derived from the root אָסַף (asaph), meaning "to gather" or "to collect." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4863 (συνάγω, sunago) - to gather together, to collect - G1996 (ἐπισυναγωγή, episunagoge) - a gathering together, an assembly Usage: The Hebrew word "oseph" primarily refers to the act of gathering or collecting. It is often used in contexts related to the harvest, where crops are gathered from the fields. The term can also be applied metaphorically to the gathering of people or the collection of items. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and the economy. The harvest season was a time of great importance, as it determined the community's sustenance and prosperity. The act of gathering, or "oseph," was not only a physical task but also held spiritual significance, as it was seen as a time of blessing and provision from God. Festivals such as the Feast of Ingathering (Exodus 23:16) celebrated the successful collection of crops and were times of communal joy and thanksgiving.
