Strong's Lexicon mashak: To draw, pull, prolong, continue Original Word: מָשַׁךְ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1670 (helko): To draw, drag - G1828 (exteino): To stretch out, extend Usage: The Hebrew verb "mashak" primarily means to draw or pull, often in a physical sense, such as drawing a bow or pulling something towards oneself. It can also imply extending or prolonging something, whether it be time, influence, or a physical object. The term is used in various contexts, including drawing out a sword, extending a hand, or prolonging days. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of drawing or pulling was often associated with strength and influence. For example, drawing a bow was a common metaphor for preparing for battle, while prolonging days was seen as a blessing from God. The ability to draw or extend something was often linked to authority and power, whether in a military, social, or spiritual context.
