However, related themes of life and connection can be found in Greek words such as ζωὴ (zōē • life, Strong's Greek 2222) and δεσμός (desmos • bond, chain, Strong's Greek 1199), which convey similar ideas of life and binding relationships. Usage: The term שֹׁר is used in the context of describing a string or cord, with a particular emphasis on the umbilical cord in biblical texts. Context: The Hebrew word שֹׁר (shor) appears in the context of ancient Hebrew culture and language, where it is used to describe a string or cord. This term is particularly significant in its reference to the umbilical cord, which symbolizes the connection between a mother and her child. The umbilical cord is a vital physical and symbolic link, representing life, nourishment, and the beginning of human existence. In biblical literature, the imagery of cords and strings often conveys themes of connection, binding, and life-giving relationships. The use of שֹׁר in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of these themes in the spiritual and physical life of the community.
