Strong's Lexicon shen: Tooth Original Word: שֵׁן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to "point" or "pierce." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3599 - ὀδούς (odous), meaning "tooth," used in similar contexts in the New Testament, such as in Matthew 5:38, "You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye and tooth for tooth.'" Usage: The Hebrew word "shen" primarily refers to a tooth, often used in both literal and metaphorical contexts in the Bible. Literally, it denotes the physical teeth of humans and animals. Metaphorically, it can symbolize strength, power, or the act of devouring and destruction, as seen in various poetic and prophetic passages. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern culture, teeth were often associated with strength and vitality. The loss of teeth could symbolize weakness or defeat, while sharp teeth were emblematic of power and ferocity, especially in descriptions of animals or enemies. The imagery of teeth was also used in legal contexts, such as the "eye for an eye, tooth for a tooth" principle, which emphasized justice and retribution.
