Strong's Lexicon amar: To say, speak, utter Original Word: עֲמַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3004 (λέγω - lego): To say, speak - G2036 (εἶπον - eipon): To say, speak, tell Usage: The Hebrew verb "amar" is a fundamental term used extensively throughout the Old Testament to denote the act of speaking or saying. It is often used to introduce direct speech, convey commands, express thoughts, or narrate events. The verb can be used in various contexts, from divine pronouncements to everyday conversations. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, spoken words held significant power and authority. The act of speaking was not merely a means of communication but was often seen as an expression of one's will or intent. This is especially true in the context of divine speech, where God's words are seen as creative and authoritative, as exemplified in the creation narrative in Genesis. The oral tradition was a primary means of preserving and transmitting knowledge, laws, and stories before the widespread use of written texts.
