Topical Lexicon
Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root צָוָר (tsavar), which refers to the neck or back of the neck.

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G5137 (τραχήλος, trachēlos), which also refers to the neck. This Greek term is used in the New Testament to convey similar themes of submission and burden-bearing, aligning with the symbolic use of the neck in the Hebrew Scriptures.

Usage: This Aramaic term is used in the context of describing the neck, particularly the back portion, often in a figurative sense to denote submission or burden-bearing.

Context: The Aramaic word צַוַּאר (tsavvar) appears in the context of the Hebrew Bible, particularly in passages where the neck is symbolically significant. In ancient Near Eastern culture, the neck was often seen as a symbol of strength and submission. The back of the neck, in particular, could represent vulnerability or the act of bearing a yoke or burden. This term is used in a figurative sense to describe the act of submission or the imposition of a burden, as seen in various biblical narratives. The neck, being a vital and vulnerable part of the body, is often used metaphorically in Scripture to convey themes of humility, servitude, or oppression. The Berean Standard Bible (BSB) captures these nuances in its translation, maintaining the integrity of the original text's meaning.
