Strong's Lexicon sarach: To spread, to extend, to go beyond Original Word: סָרַח Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "sarach," the concept of spreading or extending can be related to Greek words like "πλατύνω" (platuno - to broaden, to widen) or "ὑπερβαίνω" (huperbaino - to overstep, to transgress). Usage: The Hebrew verb "sarach" primarily conveys the idea of spreading out or extending beyond a boundary. It can imply a physical spreading, such as the spreading of a garment or a metaphorical extension, such as exceeding limits or boundaries. In some contexts, it may also carry a negative connotation of overstepping or transgressing. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, boundaries and limits were significant, both in physical terms (land, property) and in moral or legal terms (laws, commandments). The concept of "spreading" or "extending" beyond these boundaries could be seen as both a positive action (growth, expansion) and a negative one (transgression, overreach). Understanding "sarach" within this cultural framework helps to appreciate its nuanced usage in the Hebrew Bible.
