Strong's Lexicon akar: To trouble, to disturb, to bring calamity Original Word: עָכַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of causing trouble or disturbance can be related to Greek words such as ταράσσω (tarassō - Strong's G5015), which means to disturb or agitate. Usage: The Hebrew verb "akar" primarily means to trouble or disturb. It is often used in the context of causing distress or bringing about a negative consequence. The term can imply a disruption of peace or order, leading to calamity or misfortune. In the biblical narrative, it is frequently associated with actions that result in divine displeasure or judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, maintaining communal harmony and obedience to God's commandments was paramount. Actions that "troubled" the community or disrupted the covenant relationship with God were taken very seriously. The concept of "akar" reflects the belief that sin and disobedience could bring about divine retribution, affecting not just individuals but the entire community.
