sear: Hair

Original Word: שֵׂעָר
Part of Speech: Noun Masculine
Transliteration: sear
Pronunciation: seh-ahr'
Phonetic Spelling: (seh-ar')

Meaning: hair

Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׂעַר (sa'ar), which means to be rough or hairy.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "hair" is θρίξ (thrix), Strong's Greek #2359.

Usage: The Hebrew word "se'ar" primarily refers to hair, often used in the context of human hair but can also refer to animal hair or fur. It is used to describe the physical characteristic of hairiness or the presence of hair on the body or head.

Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, hair held significant cultural and religious symbolism. It was often associated with strength and vitality, as seen in the account of Samson, whose strength was linked to his uncut hair (Judges 16:17). Hair could also signify mourning or humility when cut or shaved, as in the case of Job (Job 1:20). The Nazirites, individuals who took a vow of consecration to God, were forbidden to cut their hair during the period of their vow (Numbers 6:5), symbolizing their dedication and separation to the Lord.
