Strong's Lexicon eshed: Slope, outpouring, foundation Original Word: אֶשֶׁד Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to pour out or to flow Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "eshed," the concept of flowing or pouring out can be related to Greek words like "χειμάρρους" (cheimarros, Strong's G5493), meaning a torrent or stream, and "θεμέλιος" (themelios, Strong's G2310), meaning foundation. Usage: The Hebrew word "eshed" primarily refers to a slope or a place where water flows or pours out. It can denote a geographical feature such as a hillside or a streambed. In a metaphorical sense, it can also imply abundance or a foundational aspect of something. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, water was a precious resource, and geographical features like slopes and streambeds were vital for agriculture and sustaining life. The imagery of water flowing or pouring out would resonate with an agrarian society that depended on seasonal rains and natural watercourses for survival. The concept of "eshed" as a foundation or outpouring can also be seen in the context of God's provision and blessings, which are often depicted as abundant and life-giving.
