Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׂהַר (sahar), meaning "to be round" or "to be moon-shaped."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for שַׂהֲרֹן in the Strong's Concordance, as this specific type of ornament is unique to the Hebrew cultural and linguistic context. However, Greek terms related to jewelry or adornment in the New Testament might include κοσμέω (kosmeo • to adorn) or κόσμος (kosmos • adornment), which reflect the broader concept of decoration and ornamentation. Usage: The term שַׂהֲרֹן appears in the context of describing ornamental jewelry, specifically as a round pendant or crescent-shaped ornament worn around the neck. Context: The Hebrew word שַׂהֲרֹן (saharon) is used in the Old Testament to describe a type of jewelry that was worn as a decorative piece. This term is found in Isaiah 3:18, where it is listed among various adornments that the daughters of Zion wore. The passage highlights the opulence and vanity of the people, which would be stripped away as a form of divine judgment. The saharon is understood to be a crescent-shaped ornament, possibly resembling the shape of the moon, which was a common motif in ancient Near Eastern jewelry. These pendants were likely made of precious metals and were a symbol of wealth and status. The use of such ornaments reflects the cultural practices of the time, where jewelry played a significant role in personal adornment and social identity.
