Strong's Lexicon sus or sis: To rejoice, be glad, exult Original Word: שׂוּשׂ or שִׂישׂ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5463 (χαίρω, chairō): To rejoice, be glad - G21 (ἀγαλλιάω, agalliaō): To exult, rejoice greatly Usage: The Hebrew verb שׂוּשׂ (sus) or שִׂישׂ (sis) primarily conveys the idea of rejoicing or being glad. It is often used in contexts where there is an expression of joy, delight, or exultation. This joy can be in response to God's salvation, His righteous acts, or His presence. The term is used both in personal expressions of joy and in communal celebrations. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, joy was a significant aspect of religious life and community gatherings. Festivals, worship, and sacrifices were often accompanied by expressions of joy and gladness. The Hebrew understanding of joy was deeply connected to one's relationship with God and His covenantal faithfulness. Joy was not merely an emotional response but a profound acknowledgment of God's goodness and provision.
