Strong's Lexicon sheerith: Remnant, remainder, residue Original Word: שְׁאֵרִית 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 term "sheerith" refers to what is left over or remains after a larger portion has been removed or destroyed. In the biblical context, it often denotes a group of people who survive a calamity or judgment, representing a faithful remnant preserved by God. This concept is significant in the narrative of Israel, where despite widespread unfaithfulness, God preserves a remnant to fulfill His covenant promises. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the idea of a remnant was crucial, especially during times of national crisis, such as the Assyrian and Babylonian exiles. The remnant was seen as a sign of hope and continuity for the people of God. This concept is deeply rooted in the covenantal relationship between God and Israel, where despite judgment, God's promises and purposes would continue through a faithful few.
