Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G639 (aporeo): To be at a loss, to be perplexed Usage: The verb חָסֵר (chaser) is used in the Hebrew Bible to convey the idea of lacking, being deficient, or wanting. It can refer to a physical lack, such as a shortage of resources, or a metaphorical lack, such as a deficiency in wisdom or understanding. Context: The Hebrew verb חָסֵר (chaser) appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often describing a state of deficiency or need. It is used to express the absence of something necessary or desirable.
