Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to root.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • The Greek equivalent that corresponds to the concept of a root is found in Strong's Greek Number G1610, ῥιζόω (rhizoō), which means to cause to take root, to plant firmly, or to establish. This term is used in the New Testament to convey similar ideas of foundational strength and establishment, as seen in Ephesians 3:17, "so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and grounded in love." Usage: The term שֶׁרֶשׁ is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote the literal root of a plant or tree, as well as metaphorically to describe the foundational or underlying source of something, such as a family lineage or a cause of an event. Context: • The Hebrew word שֶׁרֶשׁ appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, often emphasizing the importance of roots in both physical and metaphorical senses. In a literal sense, it refers to the part of a plant that is typically underground, anchoring it and absorbing nutrients. This is seen in passages like Job 14:8, "Though its roots grow old in the ground and its stump dies in the soil."
