Strong's Lexicon zarar: To press, to crush, to bind Original Word: זָרַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "zarar," the concept of pressing or crushing can be related to Greek terms such as θλίβω (thlibo - Strong's Greek 2346), which means to press or afflict. Usage: The Hebrew verb "zarar" primarily conveys the action of pressing or crushing. It can also imply binding or constraining something tightly. This term is used in contexts where physical pressure or constraint is applied, often metaphorically to describe situations of distress or oppression. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of pressing or crushing was often associated with agricultural practices, such as pressing grapes to make wine or crushing olives for oil. These processes were essential for daily life and religious rituals. The metaphorical use of "zarar" to describe distress or oppression reflects the physical and emotional pressure experienced by individuals or communities in times of hardship.
