Strong's Lexicon omer: Sheaf, Omer Original Word: אֹמֶר Part of Speech: Noun Masculine Transliteration: omer Pronunciation: OH-mer Phonetic Spelling: (o'-mer) Definition: Sheaf, Omer Meaning: something said Word Origin: Derived from the root עמר (amar), meaning "to bind sheaves." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "omer" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew measure. However, the concept of a "measure" can be related to Greek terms like μέτρον (metron, Strong's G3358). Usage: The term "omer" primarily refers to a unit of measure used in ancient Israel, equivalent to about one-tenth of an ephah. It is also used to describe a sheaf of grain, particularly during the harvest. In the context of the manna provided to the Israelites in the wilderness, an omer was the daily portion allotted to each person (Exodus 16:16). Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, agriculture was central to daily life and religious practice. The omer was a critical measure during the harvest, especially in the context of the Feast of Firstfruits, where an omer of the first barley harvest was offered to God (Leviticus 23:10-11). This offering marked the beginning of the counting of the Omer, a 49-day period leading up to the Feast of Weeks (Shavuot), symbolizing the link between Passover and the giving of the Torah at Sinai.
