Strong's Lexicon saman: To mark, to designate Original Word: סָמַן Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of marking or designating in the Hebrew Bible can be related to Greek terms such as "σφραγίζω" (sphragizo - to seal, mark) and "σημαίνω" (semaino - to signify, indicate) found in the New Testament. Usage: The Hebrew verb "saman" primarily means to mark or designate something. It is used in contexts where something is set apart or identified for a specific purpose or recognition. This marking can be physical, such as a sign or symbol, or metaphorical, indicating a designation or appointment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, marking or designating objects, places, or people was a common practice. This could involve physical marks, such as inscriptions or symbols, or more abstract designations, such as roles or statuses. Such practices were integral to religious, social, and legal systems, serving as a means of communication and order within the community.
