An abundance, a handful; plenty or sufficient amount (textually uncertain)
This word appears in Psalm 72:16, in a vision of abundance during the ideal king's reign: 'an abundance of grain in the land.' The Hebrew is textually difficult—some scholars suggest reading a different word entirely (such as 'plenty' from another root). Whatever the precise term, the image is clear: grain so plentiful that even on mountaintops there's abundance. This isn't ordinary agricultural yield but miraculous, Eden-like fertility where even marginal land produces bountifully. The term captures the overflowing nature of blessing under righteous rule—not mere sufficiency but superabundance.

Senses
1. sense 1 A textually uncertain term in Psalm 72:16, apparently meaning 'abundance' or 'handful,' referring to grain during the messianic king's reign. The phrase envisions such agricultural bounty that even mountaintops—normally unsuitable for grain—produce abundantly. Whether the specific word means a literal handful or symbolic abundance, the context makes clear it represents extraordinary fertility, the curse of Genesis 3 reversed under righteous rule.
