Usage: The Hebrew verb "shaar" primarily means "to remain" or "to be left over." It is often used in the context of a remnant or something that survives after a larger portion has been removed or destroyed. This term can refer to people, objects, or even abstract concepts like hope or faith that endure through trials or judgment.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of a remnant was significant, especially in times of war, exile, or disaster. The idea that a portion of a population or community would survive and continue was a source of hope and a testament to divine preservation. In the Hebrew Bible, the remnant often carries theological significance, representing those who remain faithful to God despite widespread unfaithfulness or calamity.
