Berean Strong's Lexicon hariycah: "haste," "urgency," "diligence" Original Word: הָרִיצָה Word Origin: Derived from the root verb רוּץ (ruts), meaning "to run" or "to rush." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is σπουδή (spoudē), which also conveys the idea of diligence or earnestness (e.g., Romans 12:11, 2 Peter 1:5). Usage: The term "hariycah" conveys a sense of urgency or haste, often associated with the need to act quickly or diligently. It can imply a swift movement or a prompt response to a situation. In the biblical context, it often underscores the importance of immediate action in obedience to God's commands or in response to a pressing need. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of haste was significant in various contexts, from military campaigns to religious observances. The urgency to act was often seen as a reflection of one's commitment and dedication. In a culture where communication and travel were slower, the ability to act swiftly was highly valued, especially in matters of faith and obedience to God.
