### Related Words & Concepts
Several related words help clarify the meaning of `{{H7305}}` in its contexts:
* `{{H2020}}` **hatstsâlâh** (deliverance): This word is used in direct parallel with `{{H7305}}` in [[Esther 4:14]], where "**enlargement** and **deliverance**" together describe the anticipated rescue of the Jewish people.
* `{{H996}}` **bêyn** (between): This preposition is used to establish the literal meaning of `{{H7305}}` in [[Genesis 32:16]], defining the **space** as existing "**betwixt** drove and drove."
* `{{H5414}}` **nâthan** (to give, put, make): While not in the same clause, the root action in [[Genesis 32:16]] involves Jacob delivering or "giving" `{{H5414}}` the droves to his servants with the command to create a space. This connects the creation of space to an act of giving or appointing.
### Theological Significance
The significance of `{{H7305}}` is seen in its shift from the physical to the figurative, representing a form of divine provision.
* **A Deliberate Interval:** In its literal use, the **space** created by Jacob is a strategic and intentional separation, a physical buffer [[Genesis 32:16]].
* **A Provided Deliverance:** In its figurative use, **enlargement** signifies a breathing room from distress. It is presented in [[Esther 4:14]] as a form of **deliverance** that will arise for the Jews, implying a rescue that is provided for them.
* **A Source of Hope:** The promise of **enlargement** `{{H7305}}` in Esther serves as a cornerstone of hope, expressing confidence that relief and rescue are possible even in dire circumstances.
### Summary
In summary, `{{H7305}}` is a rare but potent term. It bridges the gap between a simple, physical **space** and the profound, theological concept of **enlargement** as deliverance. From Jacob's practical strategy to Mordecai's declaration of faith, the word illustrates how the creation of "room" can signify both a physical interval and a divine rescue from oppression.
