Strong's Lexicon paar: To beautify, glorify, adorn Original Word: פָאַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "paar," the concept of glorifying or beautifying is often captured by the Greek word "δοξάζω" (doxazo - Strong's Greek 1392), which means to glorify or honor. Usage: The Hebrew verb "paar" primarily means to beautify or glorify. It is often used in the context of making something splendid or honoring it. This term can refer to physical adornment or the act of giving glory and honor, often in a spiritual or religious sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, beauty and glory were significant concepts, often associated with God's majesty and the splendor of His creation. The act of glorifying or beautifying was not only about physical appearance but also about reflecting God's glory through actions, worship, and the condition of the heart. The Israelites were called to glorify God through their lives, worship, and obedience to His commandments.
