Strong's Lexicon mishchar: Earnest seeking, diligent search Original Word: מִשְׁחָר Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁחַר (shachar), which means "to seek early" or "to earnestly search." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of seeking earnestly is ζητέω (zēteō), Strong's Greek 2212, which means "to seek" or "to search for." Usage: The term "mishchar" conveys the idea of an earnest or diligent search, often with a sense of urgency or priority. It implies a pursuit that is intentional and wholehearted, typically in the context of seeking wisdom, understanding, or divine guidance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of seeking was deeply tied to one's relationship with God. The early morning was considered a time of quiet reflection and prayer, a time to seek God's presence and guidance for the day ahead. This cultural practice underscores the importance of prioritizing one's spiritual life and the pursuit of wisdom.
