Strong's Lexicon sharir: Navel, body, strength Original Word: שָׁרִיר Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁרַר (sharar), which means to be firm or strong. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "sharir," related concepts of strength and vitality can be found in Greek words such as "δύναμις" (dynamis - G1411), meaning power or strength, and "σῶμα" (soma - G4983), meaning body. Usage: The Hebrew word "sharir" primarily refers to the navel or the body, often symbolizing strength or firmness. In biblical literature, it is used metaphorically to denote the center of strength or vitality in a person. The navel, being centrally located, is seen as a source of nourishment and life, reflecting the physical and metaphorical strength of an individual. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the body was often used metaphorically to describe spiritual and moral conditions. The navel, as a central part of the body, was considered a source of life and strength. This reflects the broader ancient Near Eastern understanding of the human body as a microcosm of spiritual and physical health. The navel's significance is also tied to its role in prenatal nourishment, symbolizing dependence on God for sustenance and strength.
