Strong's Lexicon memar: Bitterness, bitterness of spirit Original Word: מֵאמַר Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: me'mar Pronunciation: may-mar Phonetic Spelling: (may-mar') Definition: Bitterness, bitterness of spirit Meaning: something, said, an edict Word Origin: Derived from the root מָרַר (marar), meaning "to be bitter" or "to make bitter." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with bitterness is πικρία (pikria), Strong's Greek #4088, which also denotes bitterness, harshness, or a resentful spirit. Usage: The term "memar" is used to describe a state of bitterness, often in the context of emotional or spiritual distress. It conveys a deep sense of sorrow or grievance, typically resulting from adverse circumstances or personal loss. In the Hebrew Bible, it is used to express the inner turmoil and anguish experienced by individuals. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, bitterness was often associated with grief, suffering, and the consequences of sin. The Israelites, during their wilderness journey, frequently encountered situations that led to bitterness, both physically (as in the bitter waters of Marah) and spiritually. Bitterness was seen as a condition that could lead to a hardened heart if not addressed through repentance and reliance on God.
