Strong's Lexicon zer: Crown, border, molding Original Word: זֵר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to surround Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "zer," the concept of decorative or ornamental elements can be related to Greek words like "στεφάνη" (stephane) meaning crown or wreath, used metaphorically in the New Testament. Usage: The Hebrew word "zer" primarily refers to a decorative border or molding, often used in the context of the tabernacle or temple furnishings. It signifies an ornamental crown or edging that enhances the beauty and sanctity of sacred objects. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the tabernacle and later the temple were central places of worship and held great religious significance. The use of "zer" in the construction of these sacred spaces reflects the importance of beauty and order in worship. The intricate designs and craftsmanship symbolized the holiness and majesty of God, and the attention to detail in these sacred objects underscored the reverence due to God.
