Strong's Lexicon arits: Terrifying, ruthless, mighty, oppressive Original Word: עָרִיץ Word Origin: Derived from the root עָרַץ (arats), which means to awe or to terrify. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of "arits" can be related to Greek words like δεινός (deinos, Strong's G1171), meaning terrible or formidable, and ἄγριος (agrios, Strong's G66), meaning wild or savage. Usage: The Hebrew word "arits" is used to describe someone or something that is fearsome, powerful, or oppressive. It often conveys a sense of awe or terror, typically in the context of a ruler or a force that is overwhelming and formidable. In the biblical narrative, it can refer to both human rulers and divine attributes, emphasizing the might and authority that inspire fear or respect. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, rulers and deities were often described using terms that conveyed power and the ability to instill fear. The concept of a "terrifying" or "ruthless" leader was not uncommon, as kings and conquerors were often seen as instruments of divine will, wielding power to maintain order or execute judgment. The term "arits" reflects this cultural understanding of authority and might.
