Context: The Hebrew verb מָגַר (magar) appears in the Old Testament with the primary meaning of yielding or giving up. This term is often associated with the act of surrendering or relinquishing control over something. In some contexts, it can also imply causing an event to occur suddenly or unexpectedly. The usage of מָגַר is relatively rare, and its occurrences in the biblical text are limited, which suggests a specific and nuanced application in the narrative or legal contexts where it appears.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the translation of מָגַר reflects its core meanings. For example, in contexts where individuals or groups are compelled to yield or surrender, מָגַר is used to describe the action of giving up possession or control. The term may also be employed in metaphorical or figurative language to describe the sudden onset of events or conditions, emphasizing the abruptness or inevitability of the occurrence.

The theological implications of מָגַר can be significant, particularly in passages where the yielding or surrendering is seen as an act of submission to divine will or authority. This can be interpreted as a call to trust in God's sovereignty and to relinquish personal control in favor of divine guidance.
