Strong's Lexicon Seirah: Seirah Original Word: שְׂעִירָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שֵׂעָר (se'ar), meaning "hair" or "shaggy," often used to describe a wooded or forested area. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for Seirah, as it is a specific Hebrew place name. However, Greek entries related to geographical locations or terms for wooded areas might be of interest for comparative studies. Usage: Seirah is a place name mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. It is associated with a specific location in the narrative of the Judges, particularly in the context of the account of Ehud, one of the judges of Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near East, place names often carried significant meanings related to the geography or notable events associated with them. Seirah, potentially meaning "wooded" or "hairy," suggests a region that was forested or rugged. During the time of the Judges, Israel was a confederation of tribes, and the landscape played a crucial role in the military and strategic narratives of the period.
