Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root רָעַן (ra'an), which conveys the idea of being fresh or flourishing.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • Strong's Greek Number 2118: εὐθαλεῖς (euthaleis) • meaning "flourishing" or "thriving," often used in the Septuagint to convey similar concepts of verdancy and prosperity. Usage: The word רַעֲנָן appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe lush, green, and flourishing conditions, often in relation to trees or plants. It conveys a sense of vitality and prosperity. Context: רַעֲנָן is a descriptive term used in the Hebrew Scriptures to depict the flourishing and vibrant state of nature, particularly in reference to trees and plants. This word is often associated with the imagery of life and prosperity, symbolizing spiritual or physical abundance. For instance, in Psalm 92:14 (BSB), the righteous are compared to trees that "still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green," illustrating the enduring vitality and prosperity of those who are righteous. The term is also used in Jeremiah 11:16 (BSB), where Israel is metaphorically described as a "green olive tree, beautiful with fruit," highlighting the nation's potential for prosperity and blessing when in right relationship with God. The use of רַעֲנָן in these contexts underscores the biblical theme of life and growth as blessings from God, reflecting His provision and care.
