Berean Strong's Lexicon eshpar: Finger joint, knuckle Original Word: אֶשְׁפָּר Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to be smooth Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of the hand and its parts can be related to Greek terms like "χείρ" (cheir - Strong's Greek 5495), which means "hand." Usage: The term "eshpar" refers to a part of the human hand, specifically a joint or knuckle. It is used to describe the smoothness and articulation of the fingers, emphasizing the intricate design and function of the human hand. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the hand was often symbolic of power, action, and skill. The detailed description of parts of the hand, such as the "eshpar," highlights the importance of the hand in daily life, craftsmanship, and even in religious rituals. The hand was seen as a tool for both work and worship, reflecting the divine image in which humans were created.
