Berean Strong's Lexicon yarah: To throw, shoot, cast, instruct Original Word: יָרָה Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1321 (didaskō): To teach - G906 (ballō): To throw, cast Usage: The Hebrew verb "yarah" primarily means "to throw" or "to shoot," often used in the context of archery or casting something. It also carries the connotation of "to instruct" or "to teach," which is derived from the idea of directing or pointing the way. This dual meaning reflects the action of guiding or directing someone towards a target or goal, whether physically or metaphorically. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, archery was a common skill, both for hunting and warfare. The act of shooting an arrow accurately required skill and precision, which metaphorically extended to the concept of teaching or instructing someone in the right path. The Hebrew understanding of teaching was not merely the transfer of information but guiding someone towards wisdom and righteous living, akin to hitting a target.
