Strong's Lexicon sas: To rejoice, to exult Original Word: סָס Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (LXX) for expressions of joy is "χαίρω" (chairo - Strong's Greek 5463), which also means to rejoice or be glad. Usage: The Hebrew verb "sas" conveys a sense of joy and exultation. It is often used in contexts where there is a spontaneous expression of joy, delight, or gladness. This term is typically associated with a deep, heartfelt response to God's blessings, deliverance, or presence. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, expressions of joy were often communal and involved singing, dancing, and music. Joy was seen as a natural response to God's faithfulness and provision. The Hebrew concept of joy was not merely an emotional response but was deeply tied to one's relationship with God and the community. Celebrations such as festivals and victories in battle were occasions for such expressions of joy.
