Strong's Lexicon shareth: To minister, to serve Original Word: שָׁרֵת Word Origin: Derived from the root שָׁרַת (sharath), which means "to minister" or "to serve." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1247 (diakoneo): To serve, to minister - G3000 (latreuo): To serve, to worship Usage: The Hebrew verb "shareth" primarily conveys the act of serving or ministering, often in a religious or ceremonial context. It is used to describe the duties performed by priests and Levites in the tabernacle and temple, as well as the service rendered to God by His people. The term emphasizes a devoted and humble service, often in a sacred setting. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the concept of service was deeply embedded in the religious and social fabric. The Levites, a tribe set apart for religious duties, were tasked with ministering in the tabernacle and later in the temple. Their service was seen as a direct act of worship to God, highlighting the importance of purity, dedication, and obedience. This service was not limited to religious rituals but extended to various aspects of community life, reflecting a holistic approach to worship and service.
