Strong's Lexicon machsor: Lack, need, want Original Word: מַחְסוֹר Word Origin: Derived from the root חָסֵר (chaser), meaning "to lack" or "to be without." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5303 (husterema) - meaning "lack" or "deficiency" - G3007 (leipo) - meaning "to lack" or "to be in need" Usage: The Hebrew word "machsor" refers to a state of deficiency or need, often in the context of material or physical necessities. It conveys the idea of lacking something essential for well-being or survival. In the biblical context, it is frequently used to describe a shortage of resources, such as food or provisions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of "machsor" would have been particularly poignant given the agrarian society's dependence on successful harvests and the provision of basic needs. The community was closely knit, and the well-being of individuals was often tied to the collective prosperity. The Law of Moses included provisions for the poor and needy, emphasizing the importance of addressing "machsor" within the community (e.g., Deuteronomy 15:7-11).
