Berean Strong's Lexicon razeh: Lean, thin Original Word: רָזֶה Word Origin: Derived from a root that is not widely attested in Hebrew, possibly related to the concept of leanness or thinness. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "razeh," concepts of leanness or thinness might be expressed in Greek using words like "ισχνός" (ischinos), which also conveys the idea of being thin or weak. Usage: The Hebrew word "razeh" is used to describe something that is lean or thin, often in the context of physical appearance or condition. It conveys a sense of lacking in substance or fullness, which can be applied to both people and animals. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, physical appearance often carried significant social and symbolic meaning. Being lean or thin could be associated with famine, poverty, or a lack of prosperity. In a society where agricultural abundance was a sign of divine blessing, leanness might be viewed negatively, as it could indicate a lack of God's favor or a period of hardship.
