Strong's Lexicon Tsior: Zoar Original Word: צִיעֹר Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root צָעִיר (tsa'ir), meaning "small" or "insignificant." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Tsior in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to Hebrew texts. However, the Greek Septuagint translates Zoar as Ζοάρ (Zoar). Usage: Tsior, or Zoar, is a biblical city mentioned in the Old Testament. The name means "small" or "insignificant," reflecting its status as a minor city. It is most notably associated with the account of Lot in the book of Genesis, where it serves as a place of refuge during the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Cultural and Historical Background: Zoar was one of the "cities of the plain" mentioned in the Bible, located near the Dead Sea. It was spared from destruction when God rained down fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah, as Lot pleaded for it to be a refuge. Historically, Zoar was a small city, and its exact location has been a subject of debate among archaeologists and biblical scholars. It is often identified with modern-day sites near the southeastern shore of the Dead Sea. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfrom tsaar Definition a place near Hebron NASB Translation Zior (1).
