Strong's Lexicon Yarah: To throw, shoot, cast, direct, instruct Original Word: יַעְרָה Part of Speech: Proper Name Masculine Transliteration: Ya`rah Pronunciation: yah-RAH Phonetic Spelling: (yah-raw') Definition: To throw, shoot, cast, direct, instruct Meaning: Jarah Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1321 (didaskō): To teach, instruct - G906 (ballō): To throw, cast Usage: The Hebrew verb "yarah" primarily means to throw or shoot, often used in the context of archery or casting lots. It also carries the connotation of directing or instructing, which is foundational to the concept of teaching or giving guidance. This dual meaning reflects the idea of aiming or directing something towards a target, whether it be an arrow or instruction. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, archery was a common skill, both for hunting and warfare. The act of shooting an arrow required precision and focus, which metaphorically extended to the act of teaching or giving instruction. The Torah, the central reference of the religious Judaic tradition, derives its name from this root, emphasizing the role of divine instruction as a guide for life.
