This is seen in passages like Luke 1:46, where Mary declares, "My soul magnifies the Lord."<p><span class="tophdg">Usage: </span>The Hebrew verb "makbir" is used to convey the action of making something greater or increasing its magnitude. It often implies an enhancement or amplification of status, power, or influence. In a biblical context, it can refer to the magnification of God's name or the increase of His glory among the nations.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of magnifying or increasing was often associated with the honor and reverence due to God. The Israelites were called to magnify the Lord through their worship, obedience, and testimony to the surrounding nations. This idea is deeply rooted in the covenant relationship between God and His people, where His greatness is to be proclaimed and His deeds made known.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/3527.htm">kabar</a>, q.v.<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">Strong's Exhaustive Concordance</div>abundance <p>Transitive participle of <a href="/hebrew/3527.htm">kabar</a>; plenty -- abundance. <p>see HEBREW <a href="/hebrew/3527.htm">kabar</a> <div class="vheading2">Forms and Transliterations</div>לְמַכְבִּֽיר׃ למכביר׃ lə·maḵ·bîr lemachBir ləmaḵbîr<div class="vheading2">Links</div><a href="/interlinear/matthew/1-1.htm">Interlinear Greek</a> • <a href="/interlinear/genesis/1-1.htm">Interlinear Hebrew</a> • <a href="/strongs.htm">Strong's Numbers</a> • <a href="/englishmans_greek.htm">Englishman's Greek Concordance</a> • <a href="/englishmans_hebrew.htm">Englishman's Hebrew Concordance</a> • <a href="/texts/matthew/1-1.htm">Parallel Texts</a></div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><div class="vheading">Englishman's Concordance</div><b><a href="/text/job/36-31.htm" title="Biblos Lexicon">Job 36:31</a> </b><br><a href="/interlinear/job/36.htm" title="Hebrew">HEB:</a> <span class="hebrew3">יִֽתֶּן־ אֹ֥כֶל <b> לְמַכְבִּֽיר׃ </b> </span><br><a href="/kjvs/job/36.htm" title="King James Bible with Strong's">KJV:</a> he giveth meat <span class="itali">in abundance.</span><br><a href="/interlinear/job/36-31.htm" title="Biblos Interlinear Bible">INT:</a> gives food <span class="itali">abundance</span><p><i><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4342.htm">1 Occurrence</a></i><br /><br /><b><a href="/hebrew/strongs_4342.htm">Strong's Hebrew 4342<br>1 Occurrence</a></b><br><br><a href="/hebrew/lemachbir_4342.htm">lə·maḵ·bîr — 1 Occ.</a><br></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"> <script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script><br /><br /> </div> <div id="left"><a href="/hebrew/4341.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="4341"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="4341" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/hebrew/4343.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="4343"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="4343" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhchap.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
