Strong's Lexicon Tsori: Balm, Balsam Original Word: צֹרִי Word Origin: Derived from the root word צָרָה (tsarah), meaning "to bind" or "to press." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of healing and balm can be related to Greek words such as ἴασις (iasis - healing) and ἰάομαι (iaomai - to heal). Usage: Tsori refers to a resinous substance, often translated as "balm" or "balsam," known for its healing and soothing properties. It is frequently associated with the region of Gilead, which was renowned for producing this valuable commodity. In the Bible, it symbolizes healing, restoration, and the provision of God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, balm from Gilead was highly prized for its medicinal properties. It was used as a healing ointment and was a significant trade item. The balm was extracted from certain trees and shrubs, and its reputation for healing made it a sought-after product in the ancient Near East. The phrase "balm of Gilead" has become synonymous with a source of comfort and healing.
