Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance that corresponds to the specific Hebrew term שָׂקַר (sakar). However, Greek terms related to similar behaviors or actions might include those associated with seduction or enticement, though they would not capture the exact nuance of the Hebrew term.

Usage: The term שָׂקַר (sakar) is used in the context of flirtatious or coquettish behavior, specifically referring to the act of ogling or blinking in a manner intended to attract attention or admiration.

Context: The Hebrew verb שָׂקַר (sakar) appears in the context of describing a behavior that is flirtatious or coquettish. This term is used to convey the idea of someone using their eyes to communicate interest or allure, often in a playful or teasing manner. The cultural and historical context of the term suggests a behavior that is not merely innocent but carries an implication of intentional seduction or enticement. In the ancient Near Eastern context, such actions could be seen as provocative, and the term may carry a negative connotation, suggesting a lack of modesty or propriety. The use of this term in the Hebrew Bible is limited, and it is often associated with descriptions of behavior that are intended to manipulate or captivate the attention of others through non-verbal cues.
