Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1295 (διανοέομαι, dianoéomai): This Greek term shares a conceptual link with the idea of excogitation, as it means to think through, consider, or ponder. It reflects a similar process of careful thought and planning, aligning with the secondary meaning of עָשַׁת (ʿāšat). In summary, עָשַׁת (ʿāšat) encompasses both the physical attribute of sleekness and the intellectual activity of excogitation, reflecting a dual focus on appearance and thoughtfulness within the biblical narrative. Usage: The term עָשַׁת (ʿāšat) is used in the context of describing something that is sleek or glossy, often implying a sense of smoothness or polish. It can also refer to the act of excogitating, which means to think out, plan, or devise with careful consideration. Context: The Hebrew root עָשַׁת (ʿāšat) appears in the Old Testament with the primary sense of being sleek or glossy. This term is often associated with the appearance of objects or surfaces that are smooth and shiny, suggesting a state of being well-maintained or polished. The secondary meaning of excogitation involves a mental process of careful thought and planning, indicating a depth of consideration and intellectual effort. In the context of biblical literature, the concept of sleekness or glossiness can be metaphorically extended to describe the allure or attractiveness of certain ideas or objects, which may be deceptive in nature. The notion of excogitation aligns with the biblical emphasis on wisdom and discernment, encouraging believers to engage in thoughtful reflection and planning. The Berean Standard Bible does not contain a direct translation of עָשַׁת (ʿāšat) in its text, but the concept can be inferred in passages that discuss the appearance or consideration of ideas and objects.
