Usage: The term שָׁרִיר is used in the context of describing physical strength or the anatomical structure of sinews, which are the tendons or cords that connect muscles to bones.

Context: The Hebrew word שָׁרִיר (sharir) appears in the Old Testament to denote the concept of strength and firmness, often in a physical or anatomical sense. It is used metaphorically to describe the robustness and resilience of the human body, particularly focusing on the sinews, which are essential for movement and stability. The sinews are depicted as vital components that provide strength and support, reflecting the broader biblical theme of God's creation being intricately and wonderfully made.

In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to illustrate the physical attributes of strength and endurance, emphasizing the importance of these qualities in the context of human and divine interactions. The sinews, as a symbol of strength, are often associated with the idea of being bound or held together firmly, which can also be extended to spiritual and moral steadfastness.

The concept of sinews is significant in biblical literature, as it underscores the interconnectedness of the body and the necessity of each part functioning properly to maintain overall health and vitality. This imagery is often used to convey deeper spiritual truths about the unity and strength found in the community of believers and their reliance on God's sustaining power.
