Strong's Lexicon resen: Bridle, halter Original Word: רֶסֶן Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: recen Pronunciation: reh'-sen Phonetic Spelling: (reh'-sen) Definition: Bridle, halter Meaning: a halter, the jaw Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to curb Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "resen," the concept of control and restraint is present in the New Testament. For example, Strong's Greek 5468 (phimos) refers to a muzzle or restraint, used metaphorically in passages like James 3:3, which discusses the control of the tongue. Usage: The Hebrew word "resen" refers to a bridle or halter, a device used to control a horse or other animal. In a broader sense, it symbolizes control or restraint, often used metaphorically to describe the act of guiding or restraining one's actions or words. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the bridle was an essential tool for anyone working with horses or other beasts of burden. It allowed the rider or handler to direct the animal's movements effectively. The concept of a bridle as a means of control is a common metaphor in biblical literature, reflecting the importance of self-control and discipline in one's spiritual and moral life.
