Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁאַר (sha'ar), which means "to remain" or "to be left over."

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2640 (κατάλειμμα, kataleimma): Refers to a remnant or remainder, often used in the context of a group of people who remain faithful.
• G2645 (κατάλοιπος, kataloipos): Meaning "left remaining," used to describe what is left over.
• G3062 (λοιπός, loipos): Generally means "remaining" or "the rest," used in various contexts to denote what is left.
• G3063 (λοιπόν, loipon): An adverbial form meaning "for the rest" or "henceforth."
• G3064 (λοιπός, loipos): Similar to G3062, used to describe what remains or is left over.

The concept of a remnant is a recurring theme throughout the Bible, emphasizing God's sovereignty and the hope of restoration for those who remain faithful.

Usage: The word שְׁאָר (she'ar) is used in various contexts in the Hebrew Bible to describe a remnant of people, things, or portions that remain after a significant event or action. It often carries a connotation of survival or preservation, especially in the context of divine judgment or calamity.

Context: • The concept of a "remnant" is significant in biblical theology, often symbolizing a group preserved by God amidst judgment or disaster. This remnant is seen as a sign of hope and continuity for the future.
• In the prophetic literature, the remnant is frequently mentioned as those who will return to God and be restored after a period of exile or punishment. For example, in Isaiah 10:20-22, the remnant of Israel is described as those who will rely on the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
• The term is also used in historical narratives to describe the survivors of battles or calamities, such as in 2 Kings 19:4, where a remnant is left in Jerusalem after the Assyrian invasion.
• Theologically, the concept of a remnant underscores God's faithfulness and mercy, as He preserves a portion of His people despite widespread unfaithfulness or judgment.
