Berean Strong's Lexicon sarar: To be stubborn, to rebel, to be obstinate Original Word: סָרַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for "sarar" is ἀντιτάσσομαι (antitassomai), which means to oppose or resist. Usage: The Hebrew verb "sarar" primarily conveys the idea of stubbornness or rebellion. It is often used in the context of describing a willful defiance against authority, particularly against God or His commandments. The term implies a deliberate choice to resist or oppose, often with a sense of obstinacy or hard-heartedness. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, obedience to God and adherence to His laws were central to the community's covenant relationship with Him. Rebellion or stubbornness, as captured by the term "sarar," was seen as a serious breach of this covenant. Such behavior was not only a personal failing but also had communal implications, as it could lead to divine judgment or loss of favor. The concept of stubbornness was often illustrated through the metaphor of a stiff-necked people, resistant to guidance or correction. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Origina prim. root.
