4051. perisseuma
Strong's Lexicon
perisseuma: Abundance, surplus, overflow

Original Word: περισσεῦμα
Part of Speech: Noun, Neuter
Transliteration: perisseuma
Pronunciation: pe-ris'-syoo-mah
Phonetic Spelling: (per-is'-syoo-mah)
Definition: Abundance, surplus, overflow
Meaning: abundance, overflow.

Word Origin: Derived from the Greek verb περισσεύω (perisseuō), meaning "to abound" or "to be in excess."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Hebrew equivalent often associated with the concept of abundance is יֶתֶר (yeter), Strong's Hebrew 3499, which also conveys the idea of a remainder or surplus.

Usage: The term "perisseuma" refers to an abundance or surplus, often used in the context of an overflow of material or spiritual blessings. It conveys the idea of having more than enough, an excess that spills over. In the New Testament, it is used to describe both physical abundance and the richness of spiritual blessings.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, abundance was often associated with wealth and prosperity. The concept of having more than enough was seen as a sign of divine favor. In Jewish thought, abundance was also linked to God's blessings, particularly in the context of the Promised Land, which was described as a land flowing with milk and honey. The New Testament writers, however, often used the term to emphasize spiritual abundance over material wealth, reflecting the teachings of Jesus on the true riches of the Kingdom of God.
