Strong's Lexicon masar: To deliver, to hand over, to give up Original Word: מָסַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G3860 (παραδίδωμι, paradidōmi): To hand over, to deliver, to betray - G1325 (δίδωμι, didōmi): To give, to grant, to deliver Usage: The Hebrew verb "masar" primarily means to deliver or hand over something or someone. It is often used in contexts where control or possession is transferred from one party to another. This can include delivering a message, handing over a person, or surrendering something of value. The term can carry both positive and negative connotations depending on the context, such as delivering someone from danger or handing someone over to their enemies. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the concept of delivering or handing over was significant in both legal and relational contexts. The act of delivering could involve legal transactions, such as the transfer of property or inheritance, as well as relational dynamics, such as entrusting someone with a responsibility or surrendering to an authority. The idea of deliverance is also central to the narrative of the Israelites, particularly in the context of God's deliverance of His people from bondage and oppression.
