This term is used in the New Testament, specifically in Hebrews 4:12, where it describes the Word of God as being "sharper than any double-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing of soul and spirit, joints and marrow." This usage highlights the penetrating and discerning power of God's Word, capable of reaching the deepest parts of human existence, much like the marrow within bones. Usage: The word מֹחַ is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the marrow, which is the soft, fatty tissue inside bones. It is often associated with richness and abundance, symbolizing nourishment and vitality. Context: מֹחַ (moach) appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that emphasize the richness and life-sustaining qualities of marrow. In Job 21:24, the term is used to describe a state of prosperity and health: "His body is well nourished, and his bones are rich with marrow." This imagery conveys a sense of fullness and vitality, often contrasting with leanness or lack. The marrow, being the innermost part of the bone, symbolizes the essence of life and strength. In a broader theological context, the richness of marrow can be seen as a metaphor for spiritual abundance and divine blessing, reflecting the biblical theme of God providing for His people.
