עֲתֶ֫רֶת noun feminine abundance (Aramaism, si vera lectio); — construct Jeremiah 33:6 I will reveal to them abundance of peace, etc. (corrupt according to Gie Buhl^Lex; Vrss. render variously).

Word Origin: Derived from the root עָתַר (atar), which conveys the idea of abundance or being crowned.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct one-to-one correspondence between Hebrew and Greek terms in Strong's Concordance, the concept of abundance or being crowned with blessings in the New Testament can be related to Greek terms such as πλοῦτος (ploutos • Strong's Greek 4149), meaning "wealth" or "riches," and στέφανος (stephanos • Strong's Greek 4735), meaning "crown" or "wreath," which can metaphorically imply honor or reward.

Usage: The word עֲתֶרֶת is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe a state of abundance or richness, often in a metaphorical sense, such as being crowned with blessings or honor.

Context: • The term עֲתֶרֶת appears in the Hebrew Bible to convey the concept of abundance or richness, often in a figurative sense. It is associated with the idea of being surrounded or crowned with plenty, whether in terms of material wealth, blessings, or honor. This word is rooted in the verb עָתַר (atar), which means to be abundant or to crown.
• In the context of biblical literature, עֲתֶרֶת can be seen as a symbol of divine favor or blessing, where an individual or group is metaphorically crowned with prosperity or honor. This reflects the ancient Near Eastern cultural understanding of abundance as a sign of divine approval and favor.
• The usage of עֲתֶרֶת in the Hebrew Bible underscores the theological theme that true abundance and honor come from God, who bestows them upon those who are faithful and righteous. This aligns with the broader biblical narrative that emphasizes reliance on divine provision and the blessings that follow obedience to God's commandments.
