Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Greek entries for Strong's Hebrew Number 829, as the concept of a "measured portion" is more culturally and contextually specific to the Hebrew language and its usage in the Old Testament. However, similar themes of measurement and portioning can be found in Greek terms related to land and inheritance in the New Testament, though they do not directly translate the Hebrew אֶשְׁפָר.

Usage: The term אֶשְׁפָר (eshpar) is used in the context of describing a portion or measurement, often in relation to land or property.

Context: The Hebrew word אֶשְׁפָר (eshpar) appears in the context of ancient Hebrew culture where precise measurements were crucial for delineating property boundaries and ensuring fair distribution of land and resources. The concept of a "measured portion" reflects the importance of order and fairness in the allocation of land, which was a significant aspect of Israelite society. The term is indicative of a system that valued equitable distribution and careful measurement, ensuring that each individual or family received their rightful share. This reflects broader biblical themes of justice and stewardship, where land is seen as a divine gift to be managed responsibly.
