Strong's Lexicon deshen: Fatness, abundance, fertility, ashes (of sacrifices) Original Word: דֶּשֶׁן Word Origin: From the root דָּשֵׁן (dāshēn), which means to be fat or to anoint. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "deshen," the concept of abundance and blessing can be related to Greek words such as "πληρότης" (plērótēs - fullness) and "εὐλογία" (eulogía - blessing). Usage: The Hebrew word "deshen" primarily refers to fatness or abundance, often symbolizing prosperity and blessing. It is used in the context of the richness of the land, the abundance of God's provision, and the fertility of the earth. Additionally, "deshen" can refer to the ashes or the fatty ashes left over from sacrifices, indicating the remains of offerings made to God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, fatness was associated with prosperity and divine blessing. The agricultural society valued fertile land and abundant harvests as signs of God's favor. The use of "deshen" in sacrificial contexts highlights the importance of offerings in maintaining a covenant relationship with God. The ashes of sacrifices, referred to as "deshen," were considered holy and were handled with care, reflecting the sacredness of the offerings made to God.
