Berean Strong's Lexicon dashen: To be fat, to grow fat, to anoint, to enrich Original Word: דָּשֵׁן Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5526 (chortazo): To feed, to fill, to satisfy - G5548 (chrio): To anoint Usage: The Hebrew verb "dashen" primarily conveys the idea of becoming fat or being made fat, often in the context of prosperity, abundance, or blessing. It can also refer to the act of anointing, which in biblical times was associated with consecration and the impartation of divine favor or authority. The term is used both literally, in reference to physical fatness, and metaphorically, to describe spiritual or material enrichment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, fatness was often seen as a sign of prosperity and divine blessing. The agricultural society valued abundance in crops and livestock, and physical fatness was a visible indicator of wealth and well-being. Anointing with oil was a significant ritual act, symbolizing sanctification and the bestowal of God's Spirit, as seen in the anointing of kings and priests.
