Strong's Lexicon assir: Prisoner, captive Original Word: אַסִּיר Word Origin: Derived from the root אָסַר (asar), meaning "to bind" or "to imprison." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1198 (desmios): A prisoner, one bound. - G1199 (desmos): A bond, chain, or imprisonment. Usage: The term 'assir' is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote someone who is bound or imprisoned. It often refers to individuals who are physically confined, such as prisoners of war or those held in captivity due to legal or political reasons. The word can also metaphorically describe those who are spiritually or emotionally bound. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, imprisonment was not as common as other forms of punishment like fines, corporal punishment, or exile. However, captives taken during warfare or individuals awaiting trial or punishment could be held in confinement. The concept of captivity also extended to the Israelites' experiences, such as their bondage in Egypt and the Babylonian exile, which were significant events in their history and spiritual narrative.
