It is often used to describe objects or qualities that are coveted or cherished. The term can denote physical objects, such as treasures or possessions, as well as abstract qualities, such as beauty or honor.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of desire was closely linked to the value and worth of objects or qualities. Desirable items were often associated with wealth, status, and divine blessing. The term "machmud" reflects the human inclination to seek after and value what is perceived as good or beneficial. This desire, however, could lead to both positive and negative outcomes, depending on whether it aligned with God's will.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/2530.htm">chamad</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>a desirable or precious thing<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>precious things (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">מַחְמֹד</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun [masculine]</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>desirable, precious thing</b></font>; — <font class="hebrew2">מַחֲמֻדֶיהָ</font> <a href="/interlinear/lamentations/1-7.htm">Lamentations 1:7</a>, <font class="hebrew2">מַחֲמוֺדֵיהֶם</font> <a href="/interlinear/lamentations/1-11.htm">Lamentations 1:11</a> Kt (Qr <font class="hebrew2">מַחֲמַדֵּיהֶם</font>).
