Strong's Lexicon mimshaq: Possession, domain, or territory Original Word: מִמְשָׁק Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מָשַׁק (mashaq), which means "to draw" or "to extend." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "mimshaq," the concept of land possession can be related to Greek terms such as κληρονομία (kleronomia), meaning "inheritance," and χώρα (chora), meaning "region" or "land." Usage: The term "mimshaq" refers to an area of land or territory that is under the control or possession of an individual or group. It conveys the idea of a domain or region that is governed or owned, often implying a sense of authority or stewardship over that area. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, land was a significant aspect of identity and inheritance. The division and possession of land were central to the covenantal promises given to the patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Land ownership was not only a matter of economic importance but also held spiritual significance, as it was tied to the fulfillment of God's promises to His people. The concept of "mimshaq" would have resonated with the Israelites as they understood their identity and relationship with God in terms of the land He had given them.
