Strong's Lexicon garar: To drag, drag away, drag off, sweep away Original Word: גָּרַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "garar," the concept of dragging or drawing away can be seen in Greek words like σύρω (suro, Strong's G4951), which means to drag or draw. Usage: The Hebrew verb "garar" primarily means to drag or sweep away. It conveys the action of pulling or drawing something along, often with force or persistence. This term can be used both literally, as in dragging physical objects, and metaphorically, as in drawing away or influencing people or events. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the concept of dragging or sweeping away could be associated with various activities, from agricultural practices to warfare. The imagery of dragging often implied a sense of control or dominance, whether over objects, animals, or people. In a biblical context, it can also symbolize divine judgment or the removal of obstacles.
