Strong's Lexicon Ro'sh: Head, chief, top, beginning, summit Original Word: רֹאשׁ Word Origin: From an unused root apparently meaning to shake Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2776 (κεφαλή, kephalē) - head - G746 (ἀρχή, archē) - beginning, origin Usage: The Hebrew word "ro'sh" primarily denotes the head of a body, both literally and metaphorically. It is used to signify the top or summit of something, such as a mountain or a building. Metaphorically, it can refer to a leader or chief, indicating a position of authority or prominence. Additionally, "ro'sh" is used to denote the beginning or start of something, such as the first in a series or the start of a time period. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of "head" was closely associated with leadership and authority. The head was seen as the governing part of the body, directing and controlling its actions. This understanding extended to social and political structures, where leaders were often referred to as the "head" of a group or nation. The term also held significance in religious contexts, such as the "head" of a family or tribe, who was responsible for spiritual and communal leadership.
