Strong's Lexicon Tsor: Tyre Original Word: צֹר Word Origin: Derived from the root word צוּר (tsur), meaning "rock" or "fortress." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5184 (Τύρος, Tyros): The Greek equivalent of Tsor, used in the New Testament to refer to the same city of Tyre. Usage: Tsor refers to the ancient Phoenician city of Tyre, a significant maritime and commercial hub located on the Mediterranean coast. In the Bible, Tyre is often depicted as a powerful and wealthy city, known for its trade and skilled artisans. It is frequently mentioned in the context of its interactions with Israel and other neighboring nations. Cultural and Historical Background: Tyre was one of the principal cities of the Phoenicians, renowned for its production of purple dye and its role in Mediterranean trade. The city was originally built on an island and later expanded to the mainland. Tyre's strategic location and economic prowess made it a significant player in the ancient Near East. It had complex relationships with Israel, sometimes as an ally, as in the time of King Hiram who assisted Solomon in building the Temple (1 Kings 5), and sometimes as an adversary, as seen in the prophetic judgments pronounced against it.
