Strong's Lexicon mishlowach: Sending, outstretching, mission, or portion. Original Word: מִשְׁלוֹחַ Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׁלַח (shalach), meaning "to send" or "to stretch out." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "mishlowach," the concept of sending or dispatching can be related to Greek terms such as ἀποστολή (apostolē, Strong's G651), meaning "mission" or "sending away." Usage: The term "mishlowach" generally refers to the act of sending or dispatching something. It can also denote a portion or allotment that is sent or given. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often relates to the sending forth of hands, gifts, or portions, and can imply a mission or task that is dispatched. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of sending was significant in both religious and social contexts. Sending gifts or portions was a common practice to express goodwill, establish alliances, or fulfill religious obligations. The act of sending also had legal and ceremonial implications, such as the sending of emissaries or the dispatching of offerings to the temple.
