Strong's Lexicon sharshah: Root, foundation Original Word: שַׁרְשָׁה Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁרַשׁ (sharash), meaning "to root" or "to take root." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and New Testament is ῥίζα (rhiza), Strong's Greek #4491, which also means "root." Usage: The term "sharshah" refers to the root of a plant, symbolically representing the foundation or origin of something. In biblical literature, it often conveys the idea of stability, origin, or the underlying source of life and growth. It can also imply the concept of being deeply established or firmly grounded. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, agriculture was a central part of life, and the imagery of roots was commonly used to convey ideas of growth, stability, and origin. The root system of a plant was understood to be essential for its nourishment and survival, making it a powerful metaphor for spiritual and moral foundations. The Hebrew people, living in an agrarian society, would have readily understood the significance of being "rooted" in faith and tradition.
