Strong's Lexicon sharah: To sing, to sing praise Original Word: שָׁרָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) for singing is "ᾄδω" (Strong's Greek 103), which also means "to sing." Usage: The Hebrew verb "sharah" primarily means "to sing" or "to sing praise." It is often used in the context of worship and celebration, reflecting a vocal expression of joy, gratitude, or reverence towards God. Singing is a significant aspect of Hebrew worship, and "sharah" captures the essence of lifting one's voice in song as an act of devotion. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, singing was an integral part of religious and communal life. Songs were used in various contexts, including worship in the Temple, celebrations of victories, and during festivals. The Psalms, a central book in the Hebrew Bible, is a collection of songs and hymns that were sung by the Israelites. Singing was not only a form of artistic expression but also a means of teaching, remembering God's deeds, and uniting the community in shared faith.
