Strong's Lexicon mishor: Plain, level place, uprightness Original Word: מִישׁוֹר Word Origin: From the root יָשַׁר (yashar), meaning "to be straight" or "to be level." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "mishor" is εὐθύς (G2117), meaning "straight" or "upright." Usage: The Hebrew word "mishor" primarily refers to a level or flat place, often used to describe geographical features such as plains or plateaus. It can also metaphorically denote uprightness or fairness, reflecting a sense of moral or ethical straightness. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, plains or level lands were significant for agriculture, settlement, and travel. They provided fertile ground for crops and were easier to traverse compared to mountainous or rugged terrain. The concept of "mishor" as uprightness also aligns with the biblical emphasis on moral integrity and righteousness, which were highly valued in Israelite society.
