Berean Strong's Lexicon tigrah: Contention, strife, dispute Original Word: תִּגְרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root verb גָּרָה (garah), meaning "to stir up" or "to provoke." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of strife or contention is ἔρις (eris), Strong's Greek 2054. Usage: The Hebrew word "tigrah" refers to a state of contention or strife, often involving disputes or conflicts between individuals or groups. It conveys the idea of a quarrel or a situation where there is discord and disagreement. In the biblical context, it is used to describe situations where there is a breakdown of harmony and peace, leading to arguments or disputes. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, maintaining peace and harmony within the community was of utmost importance. Disputes and contentions were often seen as threats to the social fabric and were addressed through various means, including legal proceedings, mediation by elders, or direct intervention by leaders. The concept of "shalom" (peace) was central to the community's well-being, and "tigrah" represented a disruption of this peace.
