Strong's Lexicon tsalach: To prosper, succeed, advance, thrive Original Word: צָלַח Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - Strong's Greek 2137 (εὐοδόω, euodoō): To prosper, succeed - Strong's Greek 2129 (εὐλογία, eulogia): Blessing, prosperity Usage: The Hebrew verb "tsalach" primarily conveys the idea of prospering or succeeding. It is often used in the context of achieving success or advancement, whether in personal endeavors, leadership, or spiritual growth. The term implies a sense of divine favor or blessing that leads to success. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, prosperity and success were often seen as signs of God's favor and blessing. The concept of "tsalach" is deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where obedience to God's commandments was believed to lead to prosperity. This understanding is reflected in the broader Ancient Near Eastern context, where success was often attributed to the favor of the gods. Brown-Driver-Briggs I.
