Strong's Lexicon toren: Mast, flagstaff Original Word: תֹּרֶן Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be tall Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of a mast or ship's structure can be related to Greek words like "ἱστός" (histos), meaning mast or loom. Usage: The Hebrew word "toren" refers to a mast or a flagstaff, typically used in the context of ships. It signifies a tall structure that supports sails or flags, essential for navigation and identification. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient maritime culture, the mast was a crucial component of a ship, enabling it to harness the wind for propulsion. The mast's height and strength were vital for the ship's performance and safety. In biblical times, ships were a primary means of trade and travel across the Mediterranean and other bodies of water. The mast, therefore, symbolized not only the physical structure but also the broader concept of journeying and exploration.
