It can denote a physical portion, such as land or property, or a metaphorical share, such as one's lot in life or spiritual inheritance. The term is used to express the idea of an allotted share that is given or received, often by divine providence.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of "helek" was significant in the context of land distribution and inheritance. The Promised Land was divided among the tribes of Israel, and each tribe received its "helek" or portion. This division was not only a matter of practical living but also held spiritual significance, as the land was seen as a gift from God. The idea of a "portion" also extended to spiritual blessings and one's relationship with God, as seen in the Psalms where God Himself is described as the believer's portion.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/1980.htm">halak</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>traveler<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>flow (1), traveler (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> <font class="hebrew2">הֵ֫לֶךְ</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun masculine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>traveller</b></font> (properly <em>a going, journey</em>, whence <em>wayfarer, traveller</em>) only <font class="hebrew2">וַיָּבאֹ הֵלֶךְ לְאִישׁ הֶעָשִׁיר</font> <a href="/interlinear/2_samuel/12-4.htm">2 Samuel 12:4</a> ("" <font class="hebrew2">הָאֹרֵחַ הַבָּא לוֺ</font>, <font class="hebrew2">הָאִישׁ הֵבָּא לוֺ</font>);
