Strong's Lexicon sa'ar: To storm, to shiver, to be tempestuous Original Word: שַׂעַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2978 (λαῖλαψ, lailaps): A whirlwind or tempest, used in the New Testament to describe sudden and violent storms, such as in Mark 4:37. Usage: The Hebrew verb "sa'ar" primarily conveys the idea of a storm or tempest, often used metaphorically to describe a state of agitation or trembling. It can refer to both literal storms and figurative emotional or spiritual turmoil. The word captures the intensity and power of natural phenomena, as well as the inner turmoil experienced by individuals. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, storms were often seen as manifestations of divine power. The Israelites, living in a region where sudden and violent storms could occur, would have understood "sa'ar" as a vivid depiction of God's might and the chaos that can ensue in the natural world. Storms were also symbolic of divine judgment or intervention, reflecting the belief that God controls the forces of nature.
