Strong's Lexicon mishbar or mashber: Breaker, breaking forth, birthstool Original Word: מְשְׁבֵּר Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁבַר (shabar), meaning "to break" or "to burst forth." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of crisis or critical moments can be related to Greek terms like "θλῖψις" (thlipsis - Strong's 2347), meaning tribulation or distress. Usage: The Hebrew word "mishbar" or "mashber" primarily refers to a place or situation of breaking forth, often used metaphorically to describe a critical point or crisis, such as childbirth. It can denote the physical act of breaking or the figurative sense of a pivotal moment of transition or change. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, childbirth was a significant event, often fraught with danger and uncertainty. The term "mashber" was used to describe the birthing stool, a critical tool in the process of delivery. This imagery was extended metaphorically to describe moments of crisis or transition, reflecting the intense and often perilous nature of such times.
