Strong's Lexicon saharon: Crescent, Ornament Original Word: שַׂהֲרֹן Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׂהַר (sahar), meaning "to be round" or "to be bright." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for "saharon," as it is a specific cultural artifact not directly paralleled in the Greek New Testament. Usage: The term "saharon" refers to a crescent-shaped ornament, often used as a decorative item. In the biblical context, it is typically associated with adornments worn by people or animals, symbolizing beauty or status. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, crescent-shaped ornaments were common and often signified wealth or divine favor. They were used in various forms of jewelry, such as necklaces or earrings, and sometimes adorned animals, particularly camels. These ornaments could also have religious or cultural significance, possibly linked to lunar worship or as amulets for protection.
