II. שׁאר (√ of following; compare Assyrian šêru, Punic שאר, flesh, Arabic Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁאַר (sha'ar), meaning "to remain" or "to be left over."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2640 (καταλείπω, kataleipō): To leave behind, to abandon, often used in the context of leaving a remnant. Usage: The word is used in various contexts throughout the Hebrew Bible to describe what remains after a larger portion has been removed, destroyed, or taken away. It frequently appears in prophetic literature to refer to the remnant of Israel that survives judgment or exile. Context: שְׁאֵרִית (she'erit) is a significant theological concept in the Hebrew Bible, particularly in the prophetic books. It often conveys the idea of hope and continuity for the people of Israel. Despite periods of judgment, exile, or calamity, a remnant (שְׁאֵרִית) is preserved by God to fulfill His covenant promises. This concept underscores God's faithfulness and the enduring nature of His covenant with Israel. For example, in Isaiah 10:20-22, the prophet speaks of a remnant of Jacob returning to the Mighty God, highlighting the theme of restoration and divine mercy. Similarly, in Zephaniah 3:13, the remnant of Israel is described as a purified and righteous group that will trust in the name of the LORD. The idea of a remnant is also present in the historical narratives, such as in 2 Kings 19:30-31, where a remnant of Judah is promised survival and future prosperity.
