Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5303 (husterēma) - meaning "lack" or "deficiency" - G3007 (leipō) - meaning "to lack" or "to be in need" Usage: The Hebrew word "choser" refers to a state of deficiency or lack, often in the context of material needs or resources. It is used to describe situations where there is an absence of something necessary or desired, such as food, wisdom, or understanding. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of lack or deficiency was significant, as it often related to survival and well-being. The agrarian lifestyle of the Israelites meant that a lack of resources like food or water could have dire consequences. Additionally, spiritual and moral deficiencies were also of concern, as they were seen as hindrances to living a life pleasing to God.
