It is often used to describe proverbs, which are succinct and insightful expressions of truth or advice. In some contexts, "mashal" can also refer to a byword or a taunt, indicating a saying that has become a common expression or a form of ridicule.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, proverbs and parables were essential tools for teaching and imparting wisdom. They were used by sages, prophets, and teachers to communicate complex truths in a memorable and relatable manner. The Book of Proverbs, attributed to King Solomon, is a prime example of the use of "mashal" to convey divine wisdom. Parables were also a common teaching method in the ancient Near East, serving as a means to engage listeners and provoke thoughtful reflection.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/4911.htm">mashal</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a proverb, parable<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>byword (3), discourse (9), parable (3), parables (1), proverb (15), proverbs (6), taunt (2), taunt-song (1).<p><div align="center"><span class="smalltext"><iframe width="100%" height="85" scrolling=no src="/nasec.htm" frameborder=0 cellpadding=0></iframe></span></div><div class="vheading2">Brown-Driver-Briggs</div> II. <font class="hebrew2">מָשָׁל</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font><sup>Isaiah 14:4</sup> <font size="+1"><b>proverb, parable</b></font> (of sentences constructed in <em>parallelism</em>, usually of Hebrew Wisdom, but occasionally of other types); — absolute <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/17-2.htm">Ezekiel 17:2</a> 20t.; construct <font class="hebrew2">מְשַׁל</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/24-14.htm">1 Samuel 24:14</a>; suffix <font class="hebrew2">מְשָׁלוֺ</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/23-7.htm">Numbers 23:7</a> 8t.; plural <font class="hebrew2">מְשָׁלִים</font> <a href="/interlinear/ecclesiastes/12-9.htm">Ecclesiastes 12:9</a> 2t.; construct <font class="hebrew2">מִשְׁלֵי</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/1-1.htm">Proverbs 1:1</a> 3t.; — <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>1</b></font> <em>proverbial saying</em>, brief terse sentence of popular sagacity <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/10-12.htm">1 Samuel 10:12</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/12-22.htm">Ezekiel 12:22,23</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/18-2.htm">Ezekiel 18:2,3</a>; <font class="hebrew2">הַקַדְמֹנִי</font> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/1_samuel/24-14.htm">1 Samuel 24:14</a> <em>proverb of the ancients.</em> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>2</b></font> <em>by-word</em> <a href="/interlinear/psalms/44-15.htm">Psalm 44:15</a>; <a href="/interlinear/psalms/69-12.htm">Psalm 69:12</a>; <font class="hebrew2">לְמָשָׁל</font> <font class="hebrew2">וְלִשְׁנִינָה</font> <a href="/interlinear/deuteronomy/28-37.htm">Deuteronomy 28:37</a>; <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/9-7.htm">1 Kings 9:7</a>; 2Chronicles 7:20; <a href="/interlinear/jeremiah/24-9.htm">Jeremiah 24:9</a>; <font class="hebrew2">לְאוֺת</font> <font class="hebrew2">וּלְמָשָׁל</font> <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/14-8.htm">Ezekiel 14:8</a> <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>3</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>prophetic figurative discourse:</b></font> <font class="hebrew2">נָשָׂא מָשָׁל</font> <em>lift up, utter a</em> <font class="hebrew2">׳</font><font class="hebrew2">מ</font> <a href="/interlinear/numbers/23-7.htm">Numbers 23:7,18</a>; <a href="/interlinear/numbers/24-3.htm">Numbers 24:3</a>,15,20,21,23 (all of Balaam); <a href="/interlinear/isaiah/14-4.htm">Isaiah 14:4</a>; <a href="/interlinear/micah/2-4.htm">Micah 2:4</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">נהי</font>) <a href="/interlinear/habakkuk/2-6.htm">Habakkuk 2:6</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">חידה</font>), (compare <a href="/interlinear/job/27-1.htm">Job 27:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/job/29-1.htm">Job 29:1</a> for same phrase under <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>6</b></font>). <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>4</b></font> <em>similitude, parable</em>, <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/17-2.htm">Ezekiel 17:2</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/21-5.htm">Ezekiel 21:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/ezekiel/24-3.htm">Ezekiel 24:3</a>.<p> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>5</b></font> <em>poem</em>, of various kinds: the ode (<a href="/interlinear/numbers/21-27.htm">Numbers 21:27-30</a>), the 3,000 pieces traditionally ascribed to Solomon <a href="/interlinear/1_kings/5-12.htm">1 Kings 5:12</a>, didactic psalms <a href="/interlinear/psalms/49-5.htm">Psalm 49:5</a>; <a href="/interlinear/psalms/78-2.htm">Psalm 78:2</a>. <p><font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>6</b></font> <em>sentences of ethical wisdom</em> <font class="hebrew2">דִּבְרֵי חֲכָמִים</font> collected in the <font class="hebrew2">מִשְׁלֵי שְׁלֹמֹה</font> <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/10-1.htm">Proverbs 10:1</a>; <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/25-1.htm">Proverbs 25:1</a> (Proverbs 10:1-22:16 consisting of 376 couplets chiefly antithetical; <a href="/interlinear/proverbs/25.htm">Proverbs 25-29</a> chiefly couplets of an emblematic type, but also occasional tristichs, tetrastichs, pentastichs, and decastichs.
