Usage: This Hebrew word is used in the context of expressing delight or enjoyment, often in relation to God's creation or His works. It is a term that conveys a deep sense of joy and satisfaction. Context: The Hebrew word שַׁעְשֻׁעַ appears in the Old Testament to describe a state of delight or enjoyment. It is often associated with the joy found in God's presence or the pleasure derived from His creation. The term is used to express the profound satisfaction and joy that comes from a relationship with God and the appreciation of His works.
