Strong's Lexicon sharar: To be firm, to be strong, to be obstinate Original Word: שָׁרַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "sharar," concepts of firmness and obstinacy can be found in Greek words like "στερεός" (stereos - firm, solid) and "σκληροκαρδία" (sklerokardia - hardness of heart). Usage: The Hebrew verb "sharar" primarily conveys the idea of firmness or strength, often in a physical or metaphorical sense. It can also imply obstinacy or stubbornness, particularly in a negative context. The term is used to describe a steadfast or unyielding nature, whether in a positive sense of being resolute or in a negative sense of being stubborn. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, strength and firmness were highly valued traits, often associated with leadership and moral integrity. However, obstinacy was viewed negatively, as it could lead to rebellion against God or authority. The dual nature of "sharar" reflects the balance between being resolute in faith and being open to divine guidance. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originsee shorer.
