Strong's Lexicon arar: To curse Original Word: עָרַר Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: `arar Pronunciation: ah-RAHR Phonetic Spelling: (aw-rar') Definition: To curse Meaning: to bare, to demolish Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of cursing in the New Testament is often expressed with the Greek word "καταράομαι" (kataraomai - Strong's G2672), which also means to curse or to invoke evil upon. Usage: The Hebrew verb "arar" primarily means "to curse." It is used in the context of invoking harm or misfortune upon someone or something. In the biblical narrative, it often signifies a divine pronouncement of judgment or a declaration of a state of being under a curse due to disobedience or sin. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, blessings and curses were powerful expressions believed to influence the fate of individuals and communities. Curses were often seen as binding and could be pronounced by deities, prophets, or individuals with authority. In the Hebrew Bible, curses are frequently associated with the covenant relationship between God and Israel, where blessings are promised for obedience and curses for disobedience (e.g., Deuteronomy 28).
