Strong's Lexicon zeer: insignificance, smallness Original Word: זְעֵיר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be small or insignificant. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "zeer," the concept of smallness or insignificance can be found in Greek words such as "μικρός" (mikros, Strong's Greek 3398), which means small or little. Usage: The Hebrew word "zeer" conveys the idea of something that is small or insignificant. It is used to describe things that are considered minor or of little importance. In the context of the Bible, it often highlights the contrast between human frailty and God's greatness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of smallness or insignificance was often used to emphasize humility and the need for reliance on God. The Israelites were frequently reminded of their own limitations and the greatness of God, which was a central theme in their worship and understanding of their relationship with the divine.
