Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the root יָשַׁר (yashar), meaning "to be straight" or "to be level."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: G2118: εὐθύτης (euthytēs) • This Greek term shares a similar semantic range with מִישׁוֹר, encompassing ideas of straightness and moral uprightness.
G3977: πεδίον (pedion) • This Greek word refers to a plain or level area, paralleling the geographical sense of מִישׁוֹר.

In summary, מִישׁוֹר (Mishor) is a multifaceted term in the Hebrew Bible, encompassing both physical and moral dimensions. It serves as a reminder of the biblical call to justice and righteousness, as well as the historical and geographical realities of the ancient Near East.

Usage: The word מִישׁוֹר is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe geographical features such as plains or level lands. It is also employed metaphorically to refer to concepts of fairness and justice, indicating a state of moral or ethical uprightness.

Context: מִישׁוֹר (Mishor) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Scriptures, often describing geographical regions characterized by flat or level terrain. For instance, it is used to describe the plains of Moab (Deuteronomy 3:10) and the plains of Jericho (Joshua 4:13). These regions were significant in the historical and narrative contexts of the Israelites, often serving as locations for key events or as territories to be conquered or settled.

Beyond its geographical usage, מִישׁוֹר also carries a metaphorical sense, representing the concept of justice or righteousness. This usage aligns with the broader biblical theme of moral rectitude and the pursuit of justice as a reflection of divine will. The term suggests a state of equilibrium or fairness, akin to the physical evenness of a plain.

In the prophetic literature, מִישׁוֹר is sometimes used to symbolize the ideal of a just society, where fairness and righteousness prevail. This reflects the biblical vision of a community aligned with God's standards, where justice is as natural and pervasive as the level ground.
