Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root עָנַג (anag), which means to be soft, delicate, or to take delight.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G5172 (τρυφή, truphē), which also denotes luxury or indulgence. Like its Hebrew counterpart, τρυφή is used in the New Testament to describe a lifestyle characterized by excess and indulgence, often with a negative connotation regarding its impact on spiritual well-being.

Usage: The word תַּעֲנוּג appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe things that are pleasurable or luxurious. It is often used in contexts that highlight the enjoyment or delight derived from certain experiences or possessions.

Context: The Hebrew term תַּעֲנוּג (ta'anug) is used to denote luxury or delight, often in the context of material or sensual pleasures. It is a noun that reflects the concept of enjoyment or pleasure derived from luxurious living or indulgence. The root עָנַג (anag) suggests a sense of softness or delicacy, which aligns with the idea of luxury as something that is not only pleasurable but also refined and delicate.

In the Hebrew Bible, תַּעֲנוּג is used to describe the delights and pleasures that are often associated with wealth and abundance. It can refer to the enjoyment of fine foods, comfortable living, or other forms of indulgence that are considered luxurious. The term is sometimes used in a cautionary sense, warning against the potential moral and spiritual pitfalls of excessive indulgence in luxury.

For example, in the context of prophetic literature, the pursuit of תַּעֲנוּג can be seen as a symbol of moral decay or a distraction from spiritual responsibilities. The Bible often contrasts the fleeting nature of earthly pleasures with the enduring value of spiritual pursuits.
