It conveys the idea of a domain or region that is governed or owned, often implying a sense of authority or stewardship over that area.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israel, land was a significant aspect of identity and inheritance. The division and possession of land were central to the covenantal promises given to the patriarchs, such as Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Land ownership was not only a matter of economic importance but also held spiritual significance, as it was tied to the fulfillment of God's promises to His people. The concept of "mimshaq" would have resonated with the Israelites as they understood their identity and relationship with God in terms of the land He had given them.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from the same as <a href="/hebrew/4943.htm">mesheq</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>perhaps possession<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>place possessed (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">מִמְשָׁק</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>possession</b></font> (? so RV), perhaps better <em>place of possession, place possessed by</em>; only construct <font class="hebrew2">מִמְשַׁק חָרוּל</font> <a href="/interlinear/zephaniah/2-9.htm">Zephaniah 2:9</a> <em>a place possessed by</em> chickpeas (> AV <em>breeding</em> of nettles), <font class="hebrew2">ᵐ5</font> <font face="Gentium,Galatia SIL,SBL Greek,GFS Porson,Times New Roman">Δαηασκος</font>.
