Strong's Lexicon chamar: To boil up, ferment, foam Original Word: חֲמַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "chamar," related concepts of fermentation and emotional agitation can be found in Greek words like ζέω (zeo, Strong's G2204), meaning to boil or be fervent. Usage: The Hebrew verb "chamar" primarily conveys the idea of boiling or foaming, often used metaphorically to describe emotions or physical processes. In the context of liquids, it refers to fermentation, as seen in the production of wine. The term can also describe the agitation or turmoil of emotions, such as anger or passion. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, wine was a common beverage, and its production was a significant part of daily life. The process of fermentation, described by "chamar," was well understood and symbolically associated with transformation and potency. The foaming or boiling of liquids was also a vivid metaphor for intense emotions, reflecting the dynamic and sometimes volatile nature of human experience.
