Strong's Lexicon tsorek: Need, necessity, requirement Original Word: צֹרֶךְ Word Origin: Derived from the root verb צָרַךְ (tsarakh), meaning "to need" or "to require." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament for "need" is χρεία (chreia), Strong's Greek 5532, which also denotes necessity or requirement. Usage: The Hebrew word "tsorek" refers to a need or necessity, often used in contexts where a requirement or essential need is being addressed. It conveys the idea of something that is necessary for a particular purpose or function. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, the concept of "need" was closely tied to the community's agrarian lifestyle and dependence on God's provision. Needs were often met through communal support and adherence to God's laws, which emphasized care for the poor and needy. The understanding of "tsorek" would have been deeply connected to the covenant relationship with God, who promised to meet the needs of His people as they followed His commandments.
