Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be high or tall.Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance for the Hebrew word תֹּרֶן (tōren). However, related concepts of masts and ships can be found in the New Testament, such as in Acts 27:40, where the term "mast" is implied in the description of the ship's rigging. The Greek word for "ship" is πλοῖον (ploion), Strong's Greek Number 4143, which encompasses the broader concept of maritime vessels. Usage: The term תֹּרֶן (tōren) is used in the context of maritime imagery, referring to the mast of a ship. It appears in the Hebrew Bible to describe the tall structure on a ship that supports the sails. Context: The Hebrew word תֹּרֶן (tōren) is found in the Old Testament, specifically in the book of Isaiah. In Isaiah 33:23, the term is used metaphorically to describe a state of disrepair and vulnerability, likening a nation to a ship with a broken mast. The imagery conveys a sense of instability and impending disaster, as a ship without a mast is unable to navigate or maintain its course. The use of תֹּרֶן in this context highlights the importance of the mast in ancient maritime culture, serving as a critical component for the operation and direction of a vessel. The metaphor extends to the spiritual and political condition of a people, emphasizing the need for divine intervention and restoration.
