Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for 'or is δέρμα (derma), which also means skin or hide. Usage: The Hebrew word עוֹר ('or) primarily refers to the skin or hide of humans and animals. It is used in the context of physical covering, often indicating the outermost layer that provides protection and form. In the Hebrew Bible, 'or is used both literally, to describe the skin of living beings, and metaphorically, to convey ideas of covering or concealment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, skin and hides were significant for both practical and symbolic reasons. Animal skins were used for clothing, tents, and scrolls, reflecting the resourcefulness of ancient peoples in utilizing available materials. The skin was also seen as a boundary between the inner self and the external world, often symbolizing vulnerability and protection. In the sacrificial system, the skin of the offering was sometimes given to the priests, indicating its value.
