Berean Strong's Lexicon Shamiyr: Brier, thorn, adamant Original Word: שָׁמִיר Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁמַר (shamar), meaning "to keep" or "to guard." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "Shamiyr," the concept of thorns and briers can be related to Greek words like "ἀκάνθινος" (akanthinos - thorny) found in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 27:29. Usage: The Hebrew word "Shamiyr" is used in the Bible to denote a type of thorny plant or brier, often symbolizing desolation or judgment. It is also used metaphorically to describe something hard or impenetrable, such as an adamant stone. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, thorny plants like "Shamiyr" were common in the wilderness and uncultivated lands. They were often associated with desolation and were used as symbols of judgment and curse. The imagery of thorns and briers would have been familiar to the Israelites, representing the consequences of disobedience and the desolation that follows divine judgment.
