Berean Strong's Lexicon uth: To hasten, to help, to succor Original Word: עוּת Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, the concept of hastening to help can be seen in Greek words like "σπεύδω" (speudo, Strong's Greek 4692), which means to hasten or make haste. Usage: The Hebrew verb "uth" primarily conveys the idea of hastening or coming quickly to aid or assist someone. It is often used in contexts where immediate action or support is required, emphasizing urgency and readiness to help. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of hastening to help was deeply embedded in the social and communal fabric. The Israelites lived in a society where mutual aid and support were crucial for survival, especially in times of distress or danger. The verb "uth" reflects this cultural value of prompt assistance and the importance of community solidarity.
