Strong's Lexicon tacharah: Rivalry, Competition Original Word: תַּחָרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root חָרָה (charah), which means "to be hot, furious, burn, become angry." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of rivalry can be related to Greek terms such as ζῆλος (zelos, Strong's G2205), which means zeal or jealousy, and ἔρις (eris, Strong's G2054), meaning strife or contention. Usage: The term "tacharah" is used to describe a sense of rivalry or competition, often in the context of personal relationships or social interactions. It conveys a sense of contention or striving against one another, typically with a negative connotation of jealousy or envy. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, rivalry often arose in familial and social settings, particularly in polygamous households or among siblings. Such rivalries could lead to significant tension and conflict, as seen in various biblical narratives. The concept of rivalry was not only a personal issue but could also reflect larger societal and tribal conflicts. NAS Exhaustive Concordance Word Originthe same as charah, q.v.
