Strong's Lexicon shazar: To twist, to intertwine Original Word: שָׁזַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "shazar," the concept of twisting or intertwining can be related to Greek words used in the New Testament for weaving or crafting, such as "πλέκω" (pleko), meaning to weave or braid. Usage: The Hebrew verb "shazar" primarily means to twist or intertwine. It is often used in the context of crafting or weaving, particularly in the construction of the Tabernacle, where materials were twisted together to create fine fabrics and cords. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, weaving and twisting threads were essential skills for creating textiles, especially those used in sacred contexts. The Tabernacle, as described in the Book of Exodus, required skilled artisans to produce intricately woven materials. The use of "shazar" in this context highlights the care and craftsmanship involved in creating items for worship and the presence of God.
