Strong's Lexicon shua: Wealth, opulence, or cry for help Original Word: שׁוּעַ Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁוַע (shava), which means "to cry out" or "to call for help." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "shua," the concept of crying out for help is captured in Greek by words like βοάω (boao, Strong's G994), which means "to cry out" or "to shout." Usage: The Hebrew word "shua" is used to denote a sense of wealth or opulence, but it can also imply a cry for help or deliverance. The duality in its meaning reflects the biblical understanding that material wealth can be both a blessing and a source of spiritual need. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, wealth was often seen as a sign of God's blessing, yet it also came with the responsibility to use it wisely and justly. The cry for help aspect of "shua" underscores the biblical theme of reliance on God, especially in times of distress or need. This duality is reflective of the broader biblical narrative that emphasizes both the blessings and responsibilities of material wealth.
