Strong's Lexicon yasar: To discipline, to chasten, to instruct, to correct Original Word: יָסַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3811 - παιδεύω (paideuō): To train up a child, to educate, to discipline - G3809 - παιδεία (paideia): Instruction, discipline, training Usage: The Hebrew verb "yasar" primarily conveys the idea of discipline or correction, often with the purpose of instruction or improvement. It is used in contexts where guidance, reproof, or chastening is necessary to bring about a positive change or to maintain moral and spiritual order. The term can imply both physical discipline and moral or spiritual correction. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite society, discipline was an integral part of education and moral upbringing. The concept of "yasar" reflects the broader Ancient Near Eastern understanding of correction as a means to instill wisdom and righteousness. Discipline was seen as an expression of love and care, particularly within the family and community, and was often associated with the responsibilities of parents, leaders, and God Himself in guiding and shaping the character of individuals.
