Strong's Lexicon sarak: To hiss, to whistle Original Word: שָׂרַךְ Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "sarak," the concept of calling or signaling can be related to Greek words like καλέω (kaleō - to call) or σημαίνω (sēmainō - to signal). Usage: The Hebrew verb "sarak" primarily means to hiss or whistle. It is used in the context of making a sharp, piercing sound, often to get attention or signal. In the biblical context, it can imply a call or a signal, sometimes used metaphorically to describe God's actions or intentions. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, hissing or whistling was a common way to attract attention or signal others, much like today. It could be used to call animals, signal people, or even as a form of derision. In the biblical narrative, such actions often carry deeper symbolic meanings, reflecting divine communication or judgment.
