Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root זָרַח (zarach), meaning "to rise" or "to shine."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The concept of a native or native-born person in the Hebrew Bible does not have a direct one-to-one correspondence in the Greek New Testament. However, the idea of citizenship and belonging is reflected in terms such as πολίτης (polites, Strong's Greek 4177), meaning "citizen," and ἐθνικός (ethnikos, Strong's Greek 1482), often used to refer to Gentiles or non-Jews, highlighting the distinction between those who are part of the covenant community and those who are not. Usage: The term אֶזְרָח is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a native-born individual, often in contrast to a foreigner or sojourner. It emphasizes the idea of belonging to a particular land or community by birthright. Context: The Hebrew term אֶזְרָח (ezrach) appears in various contexts within the Old Testament, primarily to distinguish between those who are native-born and those who are foreigners or temporary residents. This distinction is significant in the context of the covenant community of Israel, where certain rights, responsibilities, and religious observances were specifically designated for native-born Israelites.
