Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew word שָׁרוֹן (Sharon).

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek Σαρών corresponds to the Hebrew שָׁרוֹן (Sharon), Strong's Hebrew Number 8289, which similarly denotes the fertile plain region in ancient Israel.

Usage: The term Σαρών is used in the New Testament to refer to a geographical region known for its fertility and beauty. It is mentioned in the context of the early Christian church's expansion.

Context: Σαρών (Saron) refers to a coastal plain in ancient Palestine, renowned for its lush vegetation and agricultural productivity. The region of Sharon is situated between the Mediterranean Sea and the central mountain range of Israel, extending from Joppa in the south to Mount Carmel in the north. Historically, it was known for its rich pastures and was a significant area for trade and travel due to its location along major routes.

In the New Testament, Σαρών is mentioned in Acts 9:35, where it is noted as a region that witnessed the miraculous healing of Aeneas by the Apostle Peter. This event led to many inhabitants of Sharon turning to the Lord, highlighting the area's role in the spread of early Christianity. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) records this event as follows: "All those who lived in Lydda and Sharon saw him and turned to the Lord."

The fertile plains of Sharon are also celebrated in the Old Testament for their beauty and productivity, often symbolizing abundance and divine blessing. The region's natural beauty is poetically referenced in the Song of Solomon 2:1, where the beloved is likened to "a rose of Sharon."
