Strong's Lexicon abar: To pass over, to cross, to go through, to transgress Original Word: עֲבַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3928 (parerchomai): To pass by, to pass away - G3845 (parabaino): To transgress, to go beyond Usage: The Hebrew verb "abar" primarily means "to pass over" or "to cross." It is used in various contexts, including physical movement from one place to another, the passage of time, and metaphorically to describe transgression or violation of a command or law. The term can imply both a literal and figurative crossing, such as crossing a river or transgressing a covenant. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of crossing or passing over was significant, especially in the context of the Israelites' journey. The most notable event involving "abar" is the crossing of the Jordan River into the Promised Land, symbolizing a transition from the wilderness into a land of promise and fulfillment. This act of crossing was not just a physical movement but also a spiritual and covenantal transition. The term also reflects the broader ancient Near Eastern understanding of boundaries, both physical and moral.
