Strong's Lexicon shaag: To roar, to cry aloud Original Word: שָׁאַג Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: sha'ag Pronunciation: shah-ag Phonetic Spelling: (shaw-ag') Definition: To roar, to cry aloud Meaning: to rumble, moan Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "shaag," the concept of roaring or loud crying can be found in Greek words such as βρυχάομαι (bruchaomai - to roar) and κράζω (krazo - to cry out). Usage: The Hebrew verb "shaag" primarily means "to roar" and is often used to describe the sound made by a lion. It conveys a sense of power, authority, and sometimes impending danger. In the biblical context, it is also used metaphorically to describe the voice of God or the cries of people in distress. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the lion was a symbol of strength and majesty. The roar of a lion was both feared and respected, often associated with kingship and divine power. In the Hebrew Bible, the imagery of a roaring lion is used to convey God's might and the seriousness of His judgments. The sound of roaring would have been familiar to the Israelites, who lived in a region where lions were once prevalent.
