It is used in the context of wealth, property, or goods that one possesses or acquires. The term can also imply the act of gathering or accumulating resources.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, wealth and possessions were often seen as a sign of God's blessing and favor. The accumulation of goods and property was not only a means of survival but also a way to establish one's status and influence within the community. The concept of "meshek" would have been understood in the context of a largely agrarian society where land, livestock, and other tangible assets were the primary measures of wealth.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/4900.htm">mashak</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a drawing, drawing up, a trail<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>acquisition (1), bag (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> I.
