Strong's Lexicon shaashuim: Delights, pleasures Original Word: שַׁעֲשׁוּעִים Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: shaashuim Pronunciation: shah-ah-SHOO-eem Phonetic Spelling: (shah-shoo'-ah) Definition: Delights, pleasures Meaning: enjoyment Word Origin: Derived from the root שׁעע (sha'a), which conveys the idea of delight or enjoyment. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of delight can be related to Greek words such as εὐδοκία (eudokia - Strong's 2107), meaning good pleasure or delight. Usage: The term "shaashuim" refers to things that bring joy, delight, or pleasure. It is often used in the context of spiritual or emotional enjoyment, rather than physical or material pleasure. The word captures the essence of deep, satisfying joy that comes from a relationship with God and His wisdom. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of delight was closely tied to one's relationship with God and adherence to His commandments. The Israelites found joy in the Law of the Lord, which was seen as a source of wisdom and guidance. This delight was not merely an emotional response but a profound appreciation for the divine order and purpose in life.
