This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the term אַשְׁמָן, highlighting its significance in the biblical context and its implications for both physical and spiritual abundance.

Usage: The word is used in the context of describing a field that is rich and fertile, often implying prosperity and abundance due to its capacity to produce plentifully.

Context: • The term אַשְׁמָן appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe a field that is notably fertile and productive. This word is rooted in the concept of fatness, which in ancient Hebrew culture symbolized prosperity, abundance, and blessing. The imagery of a "fat-field" conveys the idea of a land that is well-nourished and capable of yielding a bountiful harvest. Such fields were highly valued in agrarian societies, as they were essential for sustaining life and ensuring economic stability.
• In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to emphasize the richness and productivity of the land, often in contrast to barren or less fertile areas. The use of this term underscores the blessings of God in providing a land that is capable of sustaining His people with its abundance.
• The concept of a "fat-field" can also be seen as a metaphor for spiritual richness and the blessings that come from living in accordance with God's will, where the faithful are likened to a well-watered garden or a fruitful field.
