Transliteration: zeroa`
Pronunciation: zeh-RO-ah
Phonetic Spelling: (zay-ro'-ah)

Word Origin: Derived from the root זָרַע (zara'), meaning "to sow" or "to scatter seed."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1023 (brachion): Refers to the arm, often used in the Septuagint to translate "zeroa'" when referring to strength or power.

Usage: The Hebrew word "zeroa'" primarily denotes the physical arm of a person or being, often symbolizing strength, power, or might. It is used metaphorically to describe the power and might of God, as well as the strength of individuals or nations. In the context of God's power, it often conveys His ability to save, protect, and execute judgment.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the arm was a common symbol of strength and power. The imagery of the arm was used to convey authority and the ability to act decisively. In the Hebrew Bible, the "arm of the Lord" is a powerful metaphor for God's intervention in human affairs, particularly in delivering His people from oppression and demonstrating His sovereignty over creation.
