It is often used in the context of an inheritance, a designated share of food, or a spiritual portion given by God. The term conveys the idea of something that is specifically assigned or apportioned to an individual or group.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>In ancient Israelite society, the concept of a "portion" was significant in both physical and spiritual contexts. Land, food, and inheritance were often divided among family members or tribes, with each receiving their "menath." Spiritually, the Israelites viewed their relationship with God as their ultimate portion, as seen in the Psalms where God is described as the believer's portion. This reflects the deep-seated belief in God's providence and the blessings He bestows upon His people.<div class="vheading2">NAS Exhaustive Concordance</div><span class="hdg">Word Origin</span><br>from <a href="/hebrew/4487.htm">manah</a><br><span class="hdg">Definition</span><br>portion<br><span class="hdg">NASB Translation</span><br>portion (6), portions (3), prey (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">מְנָת</font>] <font size="+1" color="#552200"><b>noun feminine</b></font> <font size="+1"><b>portion</b></font> ( = <font class="hebrew2">מָנָה</font> chiefly late; on form compare Ges<sup>§ 95n</sup>.
