◄ 4871. mashah ►
Strong's Lexicon mashah: To draw, pull out Original Word: מָשָׁה Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: mashah Pronunciation: maw-shaw' Phonetic Spelling: (maw-shaw') Definition: To draw, pull out Meaning: to pull out Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "mashah," the concept of drawing out or rescuing can be related to Greek terms such as "ἐξαιρέω" (exaireō - G1807), meaning to take out or deliver. Usage: The Hebrew verb "mashah" primarily means "to draw" or "to pull out." It is often used in the context of drawing something out of water or pulling something from a larger body. This action implies a deliberate and purposeful extraction, often with a sense of rescue or deliverance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, water was both a source of life and a potential threat, symbolizing chaos and danger. The act of drawing something out of water, therefore, carried significant connotations of salvation and divine intervention. This is particularly evident in the account of Moses, whose name is derived from this root, as he was drawn out of the Nile River, symbolizing his future role as a deliverer of the Israelites from Egypt.
