Berean Strong's Lexicon bari: Fat, healthy, choice Original Word: בָּרִי Word Origin: Derived from the root בָּרָא (bara), meaning "to create" or "to be fat." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is "πῖον" (pion), meaning "fat" or "rich." Usage: The Hebrew word "bari" is used to describe something that is fat, healthy, or choice. It often conveys the idea of being well-nourished or in good condition. In a biblical context, it can refer to the physical health of individuals or the quality of livestock and produce. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, being described as "bari" was often seen as a sign of blessing and prosperity. In a time when food scarcity was common, being well-fed and healthy was a mark of divine favor. Livestock and produce that were "bari" were considered the best and were often used in offerings and sacrifices to God, reflecting the cultural importance of giving the best to the Lord.
