Strong's Lexicon Tsereth Hashshachar: Tsereth of the Dawn Original Word: צֶרֶת הַשַּׁחַר Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew words צֶרֶת (tsereth) meaning "distress" or "adversity" and הַשַּׁחַר (hashshachar) meaning "the dawn" or "morning." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for Tsereth Hashshachar, the concept of dawn or morning is captured in Greek with words like ἕως (heōs) meaning "dawn" or "daybreak," as seen in passages like Luke 1:78 (BSB), "because of the tender mercy of our God, by which the Dawn will visit us from on high." Usage: Tsereth Hashshachar is a place name mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. The name itself suggests a location associated with the dawn or morning, possibly indicating a geographical feature that is prominent or significant at sunrise. The term "Tsereth" implies a sense of adversity or distress, which may reflect the historical or spiritual significance of the location. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, place names often carried significant meanings that reflected the geography, historical events, or spiritual insights associated with the location. The combination of "distress" and "dawn" in Tsereth Hashshachar could symbolize a place where adversity is met with hope or new beginnings, a common theme in the biblical narrative where darkness gives way to light.
