Berean Strong's Lexicon azar: To help, to support, to assist Original Word: עָזַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G997 (boētheō): To help, to come to the aid of - G3875 (paraklētos): Helper, advocate, comforter Usage: The Hebrew verb "azar" primarily means to help or to provide assistance. It conveys the idea of offering support or aid, often in times of need or distress. This term is frequently used in the context of divine assistance, where God is depicted as a helper to His people, providing strength and support. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of help was deeply embedded in the community and religious life. The Israelites often found themselves in situations where they needed divine intervention, whether in battle, personal distress, or national crises. The idea of God as a helper was central to their understanding of His character and His covenant relationship with them. This reflects a broader Ancient Near Eastern context where deities were often invoked for protection and aid.
