Topical Lexicon Word Origin: A primitive rootCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that corresponds to the Hebrew אָטַר (atar). However, the concept of closing or shutting can be related to Greek terms such as κλείω (kleio • Strong's Greek 2808), which means to shut or close, often used in the New Testament in contexts of closing doors or opportunities. Usage: The verb אָטַר (atar) is used in the context of closing or shutting up, often in a metaphorical sense. It is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible, making its occurrences significant for understanding the context in which it appears. Context: The Hebrew verb אָטַר (atar) is a primitive root that conveys the action of closing or shutting up. This term is relatively rare in the Hebrew Scriptures, which suggests that its usage is quite specific and context-dependent. The concept of "closing up" can be understood both in a literal sense, such as closing a physical space, and in a metaphorical sense, such as closing off opportunities or access. The verb is often associated with divine action, where God is depicted as the one who closes or restricts, emphasizing His sovereignty and control over circumstances. This aligns with the broader theological themes in the Hebrew Bible, where God's will and actions are central to the unfolding narrative of His people.
