Strong's Lexicon mahar: To hasten, to hurry, to be quick Original Word: מָהַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4692 (σπεύδω, speudō): To hasten, to hurry - G5036 (τάχος, tachos): Speed, quickness Usage: The Hebrew verb "mahar" primarily conveys the idea of speed or urgency. It is used to describe actions that are done quickly or with haste. This can refer to physical movement, decision-making, or the execution of tasks. The term often implies a sense of urgency or necessity, prompting immediate action. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of haste was significant in various contexts, from military actions to religious observances. The urgency to act quickly could be driven by external threats, divine commands, or the need to fulfill social and religious duties. The cultural emphasis on promptness reflects a worldview where time and timing were crucial, especially in a society that valued obedience and responsiveness to God's commands.
