Part of Speech:Adjective
Transliteration:ra`anan
Pronunciation:rah-ah-NAHN
Phonetic Spelling:(rah-an-awn')
Definition:Fresh, green, flourishing
Meaning:verdant, new, prosperous

Word Origin:Derived from a root that means "to be green" or "to flourish."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries:While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of flourishing or being green can be related to Greek words like "θαλλός" (thallos), meaning a young shoot or sprout, which conveys a similar idea of growth and vitality.

Usage:The Hebrew word "raanan" is used to describe something that is fresh, green, or flourishing. It often refers to vegetation, such as trees or plants, that are thriving and full of life. The term conveys a sense of vitality and abundance, often symbolizing prosperity and blessing.

Cultural and Historical Background:In the agrarian society of ancient Israel, the imagery of green and flourishing plants was a powerful symbol of life, prosperity, and divine blessing. The land's fertility was seen as a direct result of God's favor, and the flourishing of vegetation was a sign of His provision. This imagery is frequently used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the ideal state of the land and the people when they are in right relationship with God.
