Berean Strong's Lexicon shera: Leadership, guidance, or direction. Original Word: שֵׁרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁרָה (sharah), which means to be straight, smooth, or to lead. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent for leadership or guidance can be found in terms like ἡγεμονία (hēgemonia - Strong's Greek 2232), which also denotes authority or governance. Usage: The term "shera" is used to denote leadership or guidance, often in the context of providing direction or governance. It implies a sense of authority and responsibility in leading others, whether in a familial, communal, or spiritual setting. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, leadership was a crucial aspect of community life. Leaders were expected to guide their people according to God's laws and principles. The concept of leadership was deeply intertwined with spiritual and moral responsibilities, as leaders were seen as representatives of God's will on earth. This understanding of leadership is reflected in various biblical narratives where leaders are chosen by God to fulfill specific purposes.
