It can describe a reduction in body mass or a state of being undernourished. In a broader metaphorical sense, it might also imply a lack of abundance or prosperity.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Hebrew culture, physical leanness could be associated with famine, hardship, or divine judgment. The agrarian society of ancient Israel was heavily dependent on the land's productivity, and leanness could symbolize a period of scarcity or divine displeasure. Conversely, physical robustness was often seen as a sign of blessing and prosperity.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>a prim. root<br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>to be or grow lean<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>become lean (1), starve (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">רָזָה</font> <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>verb</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>be or grow lean</b></font> (Arabic <img src="/bdbgif/bdb093003.gif"> <em>grow thin and weak</em>);
