Strong's Lexicon shur: Shur Original Word: שׁוּר Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שׁוּר (shur), meaning "to travel" or "to journey." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for the Hebrew term "Shur" as it is a proper name specific to a geographical location in the Hebrew Bible. Usage: Shur is a geographical term used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a region or area. It is often associated with the wilderness or desert area located to the northeast of Egypt, near the Sinai Peninsula. The term is used to describe a boundary or a place of travel, often in the context of the Israelites' journey or other biblical narratives. Cultural and Historical Background: The wilderness of Shur is significant in biblical history as it represents a transitional area between Egypt and the Promised Land. It is a place where the Israelites traveled after their exodus from Egypt. The region is characterized by its arid and harsh desert conditions, which posed challenges for travelers and nomadic tribes. Historically, it served as a buffer zone between the Egyptian empire and the territories to the east.
