Strong's Lexicon sheqer: Falsehood, lie, deception, deceit Original Word: שֶׁקֶר Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁקַר (shakar), meaning "to lie" or "to deceive." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G5579 (pseudos): Falsehood, lie - G5582 (pseudomartyria): False witness, false testimony Usage: The Hebrew word "sheqer" primarily denotes falsehood or deception. It is used to describe statements, actions, or practices that are contrary to truth and integrity. In the biblical context, "sheqer" often refers to false testimony, idolatry, and unfaithfulness to God's covenant. It underscores the moral and spiritual corruption that arises from departing from God's truth. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, truthfulness was a foundational value, deeply rooted in the character of God, who is described as a God of truth. The community was expected to reflect this divine attribute in their dealings with one another. Falsehood, represented by "sheqer," was not only a personal moral failing but also a threat to the social and religious fabric of the community. The Law of Moses explicitly condemned false witness and deceit, emphasizing the importance of truth in maintaining justice and righteousness.
