Strong's Lexicon migereth: Saw Original Word: מִגְעֶרֶת Word Origin: Derived from the root verb גָּרַר (garar), meaning "to drag" or "to saw." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "migereth," the concept of cutting or dividing can be related to Greek terms like τέμνω (temnō), meaning "to cut." Usage: The term "migereth" refers to a tool used for cutting, specifically a saw. In the context of the Bible, it is used to describe an instrument for dividing or cutting materials, likely wood or stone, as part of construction or craftsmanship. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, tools like the saw were essential for building and crafting. The use of a saw would have been common in the construction of homes, furniture, and religious structures. The craftsmanship of the Israelites was highly regarded, and tools like the migereth were vital for their work. The saw, as a tool, symbolizes precision and the ability to divide or separate, which can also have metaphorical implications in biblical literature.
