Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew word סַר (sar) in the Strong's Concordance, similar concepts of irritability or sullenness can be found in Greek terms that describe emotional states, such as θυμός (thumos • Strong's Greek 2372), which refers to passion or wrath, and ὀργή (orge • Strong's Greek 3709), which denotes anger or indignation. These Greek terms capture the essence of emotional responses that parallel the Hebrew concept of being peevish or sullen. Usage: The word "sar" is used in the context of describing a disposition or attitude that is characterized by irritability or sullenness. It is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, but when it appears, it conveys a sense of emotional discontent or dissatisfaction. Context: The Hebrew word סַר (sar) is a descriptive term that captures a particular emotional state, often associated with a negative or unpleasant demeanor. In the Biblical context, it is used to describe individuals who exhibit a peevish or sullen attitude, often in response to circumstances that provoke irritation or displeasure. This term is reflective of a broader theme in the Hebrew Scriptures, where emotional states and attitudes are frequently highlighted to convey moral and spiritual lessons. The use of "sar" underscores the importance of maintaining a positive and patient disposition, even in challenging situations. The term serves as a reminder of the human tendency towards irritability and the need for self-control and reliance on divine guidance to overcome such tendencies.
