Strong's Lexicon shear: Remnant, remainder, residue Original Word: שְׁאָר Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁאַר (sha'ar), meaning "to remain" or "to be left over." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2640 (kataleimma): Remnant - G3062 (loipos): Remaining, rest Usage: The Hebrew word "shear" primarily refers to what is left over or remains after a larger portion has been removed or destroyed. It is often used in the context of a remnant of people who survive calamity or judgment, emphasizing God's preservation and faithfulness to His covenant people. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of a remnant was significant, especially during times of national crisis or judgment. The idea of a faithful remnant is a recurring theme in the prophetic literature, where God promises to preserve a portion of His people despite widespread unfaithfulness or disaster. This remnant is often seen as the seed for future restoration and blessing.
