Strong's Lexicon shel or she: Prosperity, tranquility, security Original Word: שֶׁל Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to draw out or extract Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts is εἰρήνη (eirēnē - Strong's Greek 1515), which means peace or tranquility. Usage: The Hebrew word "shel" or "she" is used to denote a state of well-being, prosperity, or security. It often conveys a sense of peace and safety, both in a physical and spiritual sense. This term is used to describe the condition of individuals or nations that are experiencing God's favor and protection. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, prosperity and security were seen as blessings from God. The Israelites believed that obedience to God's commandments would lead to a state of "shel," where they would experience peace and abundance in the land. This concept is deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and His people, where blessings were promised for faithfulness.
