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.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>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.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/8173b.htm">shaa</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a delight<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>delight (7), delightful (2).<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">שַׁעֲשֻׁעִים</font>], <font class="hebrew2">שׁוּעִים</font>- <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine] plural intensive</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>delight</b></font> (Ba<sup>NB 206</sup>);
