◄ 6811. Tsair ►
Strong's Lexicon Tsair: Young, small, insignificant, least Original Word: צָעִיר Part of Speech: Proper Name Location Transliteration: Tsa`iyr Pronunciation: tsah-EER Phonetic Spelling: (tsaw-eer') Definition: Young, small, insignificant, least Meaning: Tsair Word Origin: Derived from the root צָעַר (tsaar), meaning "to be small" or "to be insignificant." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3501 (νέος, neos): Often used to describe something new or young. - G1646 (ἐλάσσων, elasson): Meaning lesser or inferior, often used in a comparative sense. Usage: The Hebrew word "Tsair" is used to describe someone or something that is young, small, or considered the least in terms of size, age, or significance. It often refers to the youngest member of a family or group, or to something that is considered less important or less powerful. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of the "youngest" or "least" often carried significant implications. The youngest son, for example, might be seen as less likely to inherit leadership or authority, yet biblical narratives frequently highlight God's choice of the younger or least significant to fulfill His purposes, challenging societal norms. This reflects a recurring biblical theme where God elevates the humble and uses the seemingly insignificant to accomplish His will.
