Strong's is an index and starting point, not the final meaning of a word. Do not build doctrine from a gloss, root, or number. Test meaning by sentence, grammar, authorial usage, context, and the passage argument.
[מוֺרָשׁ] noun [masculine] a possession; — construct מוֺרַשׁ קִפֹּד Isa 14:23 a possession for bitterns; וְיָרְשׁוּ בֵּית יַעֲקֹב אֵת מוֺרָשֵׁיהֶם Obad 1:17 and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions (but read perhaps מורישׁיהם their dispossessors, ᵐ5 ᵑ9 ᵑ7 and others); figurative מוֺרָשֵׁי לְבָבִי Job 17:11, i.e. my cherished thoughts (|| זִמּוֺתַי), but figurative is questionable, see Di, who derives from ארשׁ desire, so Buhl.
