Berean Strong's Lexicon yeqar: Honor, preciousness, value, glory Original Word: יְקָר Word Origin: Derived from the root יָקַר (yaqar), meaning "to be precious" or "to be esteemed." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5092 (τιμή, timē): Often translated as "honor" or "value," this Greek word shares a similar semantic range with "yeqar," emphasizing worth and esteem. - G1391 (δόξα, doxa): Translated as "glory," this term aligns with the aspect of "yeqar" that denotes splendor and honor. Usage: The Hebrew word "yeqar" conveys the idea of something that is highly valued, esteemed, or honored. It is often used to describe the intrinsic worth or glory of an object, person, or concept. In the biblical context, it can refer to the honor due to God, the value of wisdom, or the glory of a king. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, honor and value were significant aspects of social and religious life. Honor was not only a personal attribute but also a communal one, reflecting one's standing in society and before God. The concept of "yeqar" would have been understood in terms of both material wealth and spiritual or moral worth. The esteem of individuals, especially leaders and elders, was crucial for maintaining social order and religious observance.
