Strong's Lexicon ratson: Favor, goodwill, acceptance, pleasure, delight, will Original Word: רָצוֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root רָצָה (ratsah), meaning "to be pleased with" or "to accept favorably." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5485 - χάρις (charis): Often translated as "grace" or "favor," this Greek term shares a similar semantic range with "ratson," emphasizing unmerited favor and goodwill, particularly in the context of God's grace towards humanity. Usage: The Hebrew word "ratson" primarily conveys the idea of favor or goodwill, often in the context of divine favor or acceptance. It can also refer to the pleasure or delight one finds in something or someone. In the biblical context, "ratson" is frequently associated with God's favor towards His people, as well as the acceptance of offerings and prayers. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of favor was deeply intertwined with covenant relationships. Divine favor was seen as a sign of God's blessing and approval, often linked to obedience and faithfulness to the covenant. The Israelites sought God's "ratson" through worship, sacrifices, and adherence to His commandments. Favor was not only a personal blessing but also a communal one, impacting the prosperity and well-being of the entire nation.
