Strong's Lexicon amar: To bind sheaves, to gather Original Word: עָמַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of gathering or binding sheaves does not have a direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance. However, related themes of harvest and gathering can be found in Greek words such as θερίζω (therizó - G2325), meaning "to reap" or "to harvest." Usage: The Hebrew verb "amar" primarily means to bind or gather sheaves, a process associated with the harvest. It conveys the action of collecting and bundling grain stalks after they have been cut, a crucial step in ancient agricultural practices. This term is used metaphorically in some contexts to describe the gathering or uniting of people or things. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was a central part of daily life and economy. The process of binding sheaves was a common activity during the harvest season, reflecting the agrarian lifestyle of the Israelites. The act of gathering sheaves was not only a practical task but also held symbolic significance, representing abundance, provision, and the faithfulness of God in providing for His people. The imagery of sheaves is often used in biblical literature to convey themes of harvest, blessing, and divine provision.
