Strong's Lexicon searah: Hair, Hairy Original Word: שְׂעָרָה Part of Speech: Noun Feminine Transliteration: s`arah Pronunciation: seh-ar-AH Phonetic Spelling: (seh-aw-raw') Definition: Hair, Hairy Meaning: a hurricane Word Origin: Derived from the root שֵׂעָר (se'ar), meaning "hair." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "se'arah," the concept of hair is captured in Greek by words such as θρίξ (thrix), Strong's Greek #2359, which also means "hair." Usage: The Hebrew word "se'arah" primarily refers to hair, often used in the context of describing the physical appearance of individuals or animals. It can denote the hair on the head or body and is sometimes used metaphorically to describe something that is hairy or bristly. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, hair held significant cultural and religious symbolism. It was often associated with strength, beauty, and identity. For instance, the Nazirite vow included a prohibition against cutting one's hair as a sign of dedication to God (Numbers 6:5). Hair could also symbolize mourning or shame when cut or shaved (Isaiah 3:24). The texture and appearance of hair were sometimes used to describe the characteristics of people or animals, reflecting their nature or status.
