Strong's Lexicon sirpad: Brier, nettle Original Word: סַרְפָד Word Origin: Likely derived from an unused root meaning to sting or burn Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "sirpad" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a specific Hebrew term. However, Greek words related to thorns or briers, such as "ἀκάνθινος" (akanthinos, Strong's G174), may be conceptually similar. Usage: The term "sirpad" refers to a type of thorny or stinging plant, often translated as "brier" or "nettle" in English. It is used metaphorically in the Bible to describe desolation or judgment, as these plants typically grow in neglected or abandoned areas. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, briers and nettles were common in wastelands and areas left uncultivated. They symbolized neglect and desolation, often used in prophetic literature to depict the consequences of turning away from God. The presence of such plants indicated a reversal of the blessings of fertility and abundance that were associated with obedience to God.
