Strong's Lexicon heres: Sun, sun's heat, earthenware, potsherd Original Word: הֶרֶס Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to scrape Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G2246 (hēlios): Refers to the sun in the New Testament, used in contexts such as Matthew 5:45, "He causes His sun to rise on the evil and the good." Usage: The Hebrew word "heres" primarily refers to the sun or the sun's heat. It is also used to denote earthenware or a potsherd, which is a fragment of pottery. The dual meanings reflect the word's connection to both the natural world and human craftsmanship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, the sun was a central element of daily life, symbolizing light, warmth, and the passage of time. It was often associated with God's creation and order. Earthenware, on the other hand, was a common material used for making household items, reflecting the practical and humble aspects of daily life. Potsherds were often used for writing or as tools, indicating resourcefulness in ancient cultures.
