### In the lessons

In school and everyday life «enrich» is a positive word: reading enriches your vocabulary, trips enrich learning. In science and food labels: «enriched flour», «enriched with vitamins», «compost enriches the soil». In stories, a person who «enriched himself» often got rich in an unfair way.

### Note

Regular verb: enrich, enriched. Usually positive (makes better). «Enrich yourself» can be negative: get rich at others' cost. Do not confuse with «rich» (adjective) — enrich is the action of making something rich or richer. Noun: enrichment («enrichment activities» at school).

## In Jewish tradition

It means to make rich or plentiful. God enriches the earth with rain, and Tyre enriched kings with its trade.

**Interpretation.** The psalm praises God for watering the earth, and tradition sees rain as a gift from God alone. Ezekiel's lament shows the great wealth of Tyre, which was soon lost.

### Examples

- Thou hast remembered the earth, and watered her, greatly enriching her, with the river of God that is full of water; Thou preparest them corn, for so preparest Thou her. (Writings PSA.65.10, JPS 1917) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/E/enrich/#x1)
