Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שׁוּר (shur), meaning "to travel" or "to journey."Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for the Hebrew term שׁוּר (Shur), as it is a specific proper noun referring to a geographical location unique to the Hebrew Bible. Usage: The term "Shur" is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a desert region located to the east of Egypt, often mentioned in the context of the Israelites' journey after the Exodus. Context: Shur is a significant location in the biblical narrative, particularly in the context of the Exodus and the wanderings of the Israelites. It is first mentioned in Genesis 16:7, where the Angel of the LORD finds Hagar by a spring on the way to Shur. The wilderness of Shur is also noted in Exodus 15:22, where it is described as the area the Israelites entered after crossing the Red Sea: "Then Moses led Israel from the Red Sea, and they went out into the Wilderness of Shur. For three days they walked in the desert without finding water." This region is characterized by its arid and desolate nature, serving as a backdrop for the testing and faith-building experiences of the Israelites. Shur's location is generally identified with the northwestern part of the Sinai Peninsula, bordering Egypt. It is a place of transition, marking the movement from Egyptian bondage towards the Promised Land.
