Strong's Lexicon agur: Gathered, stored Original Word: עָגוּר Word Origin: Derived from the root אָגַר (agar), meaning "to gather" or "to store." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "agur," the concept of gathering or storing can be related to Greek terms such as "συνάγω" (synagō - G4863), meaning "to gather together." Usage: The term "agur" is used in the context of gathering or storing, often related to the collection of wisdom or knowledge. It is not frequently used in the Hebrew Bible but carries the connotation of accumulation or collection, particularly in a metaphorical sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, the act of gathering was significant, whether it pertained to harvests, wisdom, or community. The agrarian society placed high value on the collection and storage of resources, which was essential for survival and prosperity. Similarly, the gathering of wisdom was seen as a vital pursuit, reflecting a deep respect for knowledge and understanding.
