Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents in the Strong's Concordance that correspond to the Hebrew root זָרַר, as the concept of sneezing or diffusing is not directly paralleled in the Greek New Testament lexicon. However, related concepts of breath and life can be found in Greek words such as πνεῦμα (pneuma • Strong's Greek 4151), which means spirit or breath, highlighting the cultural and linguistic connections between life, breath, and sneezing. Usage: The verb זָרַר is used in the context of diffusing or sneezing, though it is not directly found in the canonical text of the Hebrew Bible. Its usage is inferred from related Semitic languages and ancient Hebrew lexicons. Context: The Hebrew root זָרַר (zarar) is a primitive root that conveys the action of diffusing or sneezing. While this specific root does not appear in the canonical text of the Hebrew Bible, its meaning is derived from comparative Semitic linguistics and ancient Hebrew lexicons. The concept of sneezing is culturally significant in ancient Near Eastern contexts, often associated with life and breath. In some traditions, sneezing was considered a sign of life or an omen. The root is related to the idea of dispersing or spreading, which aligns with the physical act of sneezing as a forceful expulsion of air and particles. Although not directly cited in the Berean Standard Bible, the understanding of this root contributes to the broader comprehension of Hebrew language and culture.
