Strong's Lexicon mezareh: Winnowing fork, scatterer Original Word: מְזָרֶה Part of Speech: Adjective Transliteration: mzareh Pronunciation: meh-zah-reh Phonetic Spelling: (mez-aw-reh') Definition: a scatterer, the north wind Meaning: The term מְזָרֶה is used to denote "a scatterer" or specifically "the north wind." Word Origin: Derived from the root verb זָרָה (zarah), meaning "to scatter" or "to winnow." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • While there is no direct Greek equivalent for מְזָרֶה, the concept of scattering or dispersing can be related to Greek terms such as διασκορπίζω (diaskorpizō • Strong's Greek 1287), which means "to scatter" or "to disperse." This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe the scattering of people or things, often in a metaphorical sense. This entry provides a comprehensive understanding of the Hebrew term מְזָרֶה, its origins, and its usage within the biblical text, highlighting its significance in both literal and metaphorical contexts. Usage: The word מְזָרֶה appears in the Hebrew Bible in contexts that describe the scattering effect of the wind, particularly the north wind, which is known for its strength and ability to disperse. Context: • מְזָרֶה (mezareh) is a masculine noun that appears in the Hebrew Scriptures to describe the north wind, which is often associated with scattering or dispersing. The north wind is characterized by its forceful nature, capable of driving away clouds and bringing clear weather. In biblical literature, the north wind is sometimes metaphorically linked to the idea of scattering enemies or dispersing chaff, reflecting its powerful and cleansing properties. • In the Berean Standard Bible, Proverbs 25:23 states, "As the north wind brings forth rain, so a backbiting tongue brings angry looks." This verse illustrates the north wind's role in weather patterns and its metaphorical use in describing the consequences of certain actions. • The concept of scattering is also significant in biblical theology, where it can symbolize judgment or purification. The north wind, as a scatterer, serves as a natural force that aligns with these themes, emphasizing the divine control over nature and its elements.
