Strong's Lexicon itter: To pray, entreat, supplicate Original Word: עִתֵּר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4336 (προσεύχομαι, proseuchomai) - to pray - G1189 (δέομαι, deomai) - to beseech, entreat Usage: The Hebrew verb עִתֵּר (itter) primarily conveys the act of praying or making supplication. It is often used in contexts where an individual is earnestly seeking divine intervention or favor. The term suggests a deep, heartfelt plea, often in times of distress or need. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, prayer was a central aspect of religious life, serving as a means of communication with God. The act of supplication was not only a personal expression of faith but also a communal practice, often performed in the context of worship and sacrifice. The Israelites believed in a personal God who was responsive to their prayers, and thus, prayer was both a duty and a privilege.
