Berean Strong's Lexicon qir: Wall Original Word: קִיר Word Origin: From an unused root meaning to wall in or to build a wall Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5038 (teichos): Refers to a wall, particularly in the context of a city wall or fortification. - G4434 (ptochos): While not a direct translation, this term can metaphorically relate to walls in the sense of barriers or divisions, particularly in social contexts. Usage: The Hebrew word "qir" primarily refers to a wall, often used in the context of a physical structure that serves as a barrier or boundary. It can denote the walls of a city, a house, or any constructed enclosure. The term is used both literally and metaphorically in the Hebrew Bible, symbolizing protection, division, or even judgment. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, walls were crucial for the protection and defense of cities and homes. They were often constructed from stone or mud-brick and served as a first line of defense against invaders. Walls also had social and religious significance, marking sacred spaces and delineating property boundaries. In biblical times, the strength and height of a city's walls were often seen as indicative of its power and security.
