Strong's Lexicon sarach: To spread, to extend, to go beyond Original Word: סָרַח Part of Speech: Verb Transliteration: carach Pronunciation: sah-rahkh Phonetic Spelling: (saw-rakh') Definition: to extend Meaning: To extend, spread out, or overflow Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G1943 (ἐπισπάομαι • epispaomai), which carries the idea of drawing or extending. While the Greek term is not a direct translation of סָרַח, it shares a conceptual similarity in the sense of extending or drawing out, particularly in the context of influence or effect. Usage: The verb סָרַח (sāraḥ) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the idea of extending or spreading out. It can also imply an overflow or an excess, often in a metaphorical sense. Context: The Hebrew verb סָרַח (sāraḥ) appears in the Old Testament with the primary sense of extending or spreading out. This term is used in various contexts, often metaphorically, to describe an overflow or an excess. For instance, in the context of a garment or fabric, it might describe the act of spreading out or extending the material. In a broader sense, it can also refer to an overflow of actions or behaviors, suggesting an excess that goes beyond normal boundaries. The usage of סָרַח in the Hebrew Bible is relatively rare, and its occurrences are often tied to specific narrative or poetic contexts. The term can be found in passages that discuss the extension of physical objects or metaphorical concepts, such as the extension of influence or the overflow of emotions. In the Berean Standard Bible, the translation of סָרַח may vary depending on the context, but it consistently conveys the idea of something that extends beyond its usual limits. This term underscores the concept of abundance or excess, whether in physical, emotional, or spiritual dimensions.
