Strong's Lexicon shepharpar: Shepharpar Original Word: שְׁפַרְפַר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be swift Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Shepharpar in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text. Usage: Shepharpar is a proper noun used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to one of the rivers of Damascus. It is mentioned in the context of Naaman's account in 2 Kings 5:12, where Naaman, a Syrian commander, compares the rivers of Damascus, including Shepharpar, to the waters of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, rivers were vital for sustaining life, agriculture, and trade. Damascus, one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world, was known for its fertile land, largely due to the rivers Abana and Shepharpar. These rivers were considered superior by the inhabitants of Damascus, reflecting a common cultural pride in local natural resources.
