Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: sh'ar

Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁאַר (sha'ar), meaning "to remain" or "to be left over."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2640 (kataleimma): Refers to a remnant or remainder.

- G3062 (loipos): Often used to denote what remains or is left.

Usage: The Hebrew word "shear" primarily refers to what is left over or remains after a larger portion has been removed or destroyed. It is often used in the context of a remnant of people who survive calamity or judgment, emphasizing God's preservation and faithfulness to His covenant promises.

Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, the concept of a remnant was significant in both religious and social terms. The idea of a remnant is deeply rooted in the history of Israel, where despite periods of judgment and exile, a faithful group would remain to continue the covenant relationship with God. This concept is seen throughout the prophetic literature, where the remnant is often portrayed as a beacon of hope and renewal for the nation.
