Strong's Lexicon Asér: Asher Original Word: Ἀσήρ Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew אָשֵׁר (Asher) Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H836 (אָשֵׁר - Asher) Usage: Asér refers to one of the twelve tribes of Israel, named after Asher, the eighth son of Jacob and the second son of Zilpah, Leah's maidservant. The name "Asher" means "happy" or "blessed," reflecting Leah's joy at his birth (Genesis 30:13). Cultural and Historical Background: Asher was one of the tribes that settled in the northern part of the Promised Land, in a region known for its fertility and abundance, which aligns with the blessing given by Jacob in Genesis 49:20: "Asher’s food will be rich; he will provide delicacies fit for a king." The tribe of Asher played a role in the history of Israel, although it is not as prominently featured as some other tribes. The region they inhabited was known for its olive oil production, contributing to the tribe's prosperity.
