Strong's Lexicon shaarah: Remnant, remainder Original Word: שַׁאֲרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁאַר (sha'ar), meaning "to remain" or "to be left over." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is "λοιπός" (loipos), which also means "remaining" or "rest." Usage: The term "shaarah" refers to what is left over or remains after a larger portion has been removed or consumed. In the biblical context, it often signifies a remnant of people who survive a calamity or judgment, highlighting God's preservation of a faithful group amidst widespread destruction or apostasy. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of a remnant was significant, especially during times of national crisis or divine judgment. The idea of a faithful remnant is a recurring theme in the prophetic literature, where God promises to preserve a group of people who remain true to Him despite the unfaithfulness of the majority. This concept provided hope and assurance of God's ongoing covenant relationship with His people. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originfem. of sheer, q.v.
