Strong's Lexicon menath: Portion, share, allotment Original Word: מְנָת Word Origin: Derived from the root מָנָה (manah), meaning "to count, number, or allot." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3310 (meris): Meaning "part" or "portion," used in the New Testament to describe a share or division, often in a spiritual sense. - G2819 (kleros): Referring to a lot or portion, often used in the context of inheritance or divine allotment. Usage: The Hebrew word "menath" refers to a portion or share that is allotted to someone. It is often used in the context of an inheritance, a designated share of food, or a spiritual portion given by God. The term conveys the idea of something that is specifically assigned or apportioned to an individual or group. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of a "portion" was significant in both physical and spiritual contexts. Land, food, and inheritance were often divided among family members or tribes, with each receiving their "menath." Spiritually, the Israelites viewed their relationship with God as their ultimate portion, as seen in the Psalms where God is described as the believer's portion. This reflects the deep-seated belief in God's providence and the blessings He bestows upon His people.
