The term appears in various contexts throughout the Scriptures, illustrating both material and spiritual dimensions. Physical Leaness: 1. Famine and Scarcity: The Bible frequently uses the term "lean" to describe times of famine or scarcity. In <a href="/bsb/genesis/41.htm">Genesis 41</a>, Pharaoh dreams of seven lean cows, which Joseph interprets as seven years of famine that will follow seven years of abundance. This narrative highlights the cyclical nature of prosperity and hardship, emphasizing the need for wisdom and preparation. <a href="/genesis/41-27.htm">Genesis 41:27</a> states, "The seven lean, ugly cows that came up after them are seven years, and so are the seven worthless heads of grain scorched by the east wind; they are seven years of famine." 2. Physical Condition: Leaness can also refer to a physical state of being undernourished or weak. In <a href="/isaiah/24-16.htm">Isaiah 24:16</a> , the prophet laments, "From the ends of the earth we hear singing: 'Glory to the Righteous One.' But I said, 'I waste away, I waste away! Woe to me! The treacherous betray! With treachery the treacherous betray!'” Here, the imagery of wasting away conveys a sense of physical and spiritual depletion. Metaphorical Leaness: 1. Spiritual Dependence: Leaness can symbolize a state of spiritual need or dependence on God. In times of spiritual drought, believers are called to lean on the Lord for strength and sustenance. <a href="/proverbs/3-5.htm">Proverbs 3:5</a> advises, "Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding." This verse underscores the importance of relying on divine wisdom rather than human insight. 2. Moral and Ethical Leaness: The Bible also uses the concept of leaness to describe moral and ethical deficiencies. In <a href="/psalms/106-15.htm">Psalm 106:15</a> , it is written, "So He gave them what they asked for, but sent a wasting disease upon them." This passage reflects the consequences of Israel's disobedience and ingratitude, resulting in spiritual and physical leaness as a form of divine judgment. Theological Implications: The theme of leaness in the Bible serves as a reminder of human frailty and the need for reliance on God. It calls believers to recognize their limitations and to seek God's provision in times of need. The Scriptures encourage a posture of humility and trust, urging individuals to turn to God in both physical and spiritual leaness. In summary, the biblical concept of lean encompasses both the tangible realities of famine and scarcity, as well as the intangible aspects of spiritual and moral deficiency. It serves as a powerful metaphor for the human condition and the necessity of divine intervention and support.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
