Usage: The term שָׂשׂוֹן (sasón) is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a state of joy or gladness, often in the context of celebration or divine blessing. It is frequently associated with expressions of happiness and is used in both personal and communal contexts. Context: שָׂשׂוֹן (sasón) appears in various passages throughout the Old Testament, often in poetic and prophetic literature. It is commonly used to describe the joy that comes from God's salvation and blessings. For example, in Isaiah 35:10, it is written, "And the ransomed of the LORD will return and come to Zion with singing, crowned with everlasting joy. Joy and gladness will overtake them, and sorrow and sighing will flee." This verse highlights the eschatological hope and the ultimate joy that God's people will experience. Similarly, in Esther 8:16, the term is used to describe the joy of the Jews after their deliverance: "For the Jews it was a time of light and gladness, of joy and honor." The use of שָׂשׂוֹן (sasón) in these contexts underscores the deep, abiding joy that is rooted in divine intervention and favor.
