Strong's Lexicon Assir: Assir Original Word: אָסִיר Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root אָסַר (asar), meaning "to bind" or "to imprison." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the proper name Assir, as it is specific to Hebrew genealogies. However, the concept of captivity or being bound is reflected in Greek words like δεσμώτης (desmotes), meaning "prisoner." Usage: The name "Assir" is used in the Hebrew Bible as a proper name for individuals. It carries the connotation of being "bound" or "captive," which may reflect either a literal or metaphorical state. In the genealogical context, it signifies a person within a family lineage. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, names often held significant meanings and could reflect circumstances of birth, prophetic insights, or familial hopes. The name Assir, meaning "captive" or "bound," might have been given to a child born during a time of captivity or hardship, or it could symbolize a spiritual or moral state. Genealogies were crucial for maintaining tribal and familial identities, especially in post-exilic times when restoring lineage was important for re-establishing community and religious order.
