Strong's Lexicon Zara: Zara Original Word: Ζαρά Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew name זֶרַח (Zerach) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H2226: זֶרַח (Zerach) Usage: In the New Testament, "Zara" refers to a person named Zerah, who is mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ. The name means "rising" or "shining," which can be associated with the dawn or brightness. Cultural and Historical Background: Zerah is a figure from the Old Testament, specifically in the lineage of Judah. He was one of the twin sons of Judah and Tamar, as recorded in Genesis 38. Zerah's birth is notable because his brother Perez was born first, despite Zerah's hand emerging first during childbirth, which led to the midwife tying a scarlet thread around his wrist. This account is significant in the context of the genealogies of Israel, as it highlights the unexpected ways in which God's purposes unfold.
