Strong's Lexicon Tsoar: Zoar Original Word: צֹעַר Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root צָעִיר (tsa'ir), meaning "small" or "insignificant." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Tsoar in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew Bible. Usage: Tsoar, or Zoar, is a city mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, known for being one of the "cities of the plain" near the Dead Sea. Its name, meaning "small" or "insignificant," reflects its status among the other cities, such as Sodom and Gomorrah. Cultural and Historical Background: Zoar is historically significant as one of the five cities of the plain, which included Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, and Zeboiim. It is notably the city to which Lot and his daughters fled during the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The city was spared from destruction, possibly due to its smaller size or Lot's plea for refuge. Zoar's location near the Dead Sea places it in a region known for its geological and historical significance, including its association with the biblical narrative of judgment and mercy.
