Berean Strong's Lexicon shur: To behold, to look, to observe Original Word: שׁוּר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G991 (βλέπω, blepō) - to see, to look at - G2334 (θεωρέω, theōreō) - to behold, to observe Usage: The Hebrew verb "shur" primarily means to look or to behold. It conveys the act of observing or gazing upon something with intent or purpose. This term is often used in contexts where seeing is not just a physical act but involves perception and understanding. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, seeing was often associated with understanding and insight. The act of looking or beholding was not merely a passive activity but was linked to discernment and comprehension. In a time when written texts were not as prevalent, much learning and knowledge were passed down through observation and oral tradition. Thus, "shur" carries with it the weight of attentive and purposeful observation.
