Strong's Lexicon mizar: Smallness, littleness Original Word: מִזְעָר Word Origin: Derived from the root זָעַר (za'ar), meaning "to be small" or "to be insignificant." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "mizar," the concept of smallness or insignificance can be related to Greek words like μικρός (mikros, Strong's G3398), meaning "small" or "little." Usage: The term "mizar" is used to denote something that is small or insignificant in size or importance. It conveys the idea of diminutiveness or a minor aspect in comparison to something larger or more significant. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Hebrew context, size often symbolized strength, power, and importance. Therefore, something described as "mizar" would be considered minor or less significant. This concept is reflected in various aspects of Hebrew culture, where the size of a tribe, army, or offering could denote its importance or impact.
