Strong's Lexicon aqar: Barren, sterile Original Word: עֲקַר Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root עָקַר (aqar), meaning "to uproot" or "to pluck up." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4723 (στεῖρος, steiros) - barren, sterile Usage: The Hebrew word "aqar" is used to describe a state of barrenness or sterility, particularly in the context of women who are unable to conceive children. It conveys a sense of being uprooted or deprived of the ability to produce offspring, which was a significant concern in ancient Israelite society. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, fertility was highly valued, and a woman's ability to bear children was often seen as a blessing from God. Barrenness, therefore, was considered a significant misfortune and could lead to social stigma. The concept of barrenness is frequently addressed in the Hebrew Bible, where it is often depicted as a condition that God can reverse, demonstrating His power and favor.
