Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for שׂעֲרָה (se'arah) in the Strong's Greek lexicon. However, related concepts of hair and hairiness in the Greek New Testament can be found under Strong's Greek numbers such as 2359 (θρίξ, thrix • hair) and 2557 (καταστέλλω, katastellō • to let down, as in hair). These entries provide insight into how similar concepts are expressed in the Greek language, though they do not directly correspond to the Hebrew term שׂעֲרָה.

Usage: The term שׂעֲרָה (se'arah) is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe the characteristic of being hairy, often in a metaphorical or descriptive sense.

Context: The Hebrew word שׂעֲרָה (se'arah) is a noun that conveys the idea of hairiness or a hairy condition. It is derived from the root שֵׂעָר (se'ar), which directly refers to hair. This term is used in the Hebrew Scriptures to describe physical characteristics, often in a metaphorical context to convey wildness or untamed nature. The concept of hairiness can be associated with strength or ruggedness, as seen in various biblical narratives. The word appears in contexts that emphasize the natural, untamed aspects of a person or object, drawing a parallel between physical hairiness and a broader symbolic meaning of untamed or wild characteristics.
