Strong's Lexicon athar: To pray, to entreat, to supplicate Original Word: עָתַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4336 (προσεύχομαι, proseuchomai) – to pray - G1189 (δέομαι, deomai) – to beseech, to entreat Usage: The Hebrew verb "athar" primarily means to pray or to entreat earnestly. It conveys a sense of pleading or supplication, often in a context where divine intervention or favor is sought. The term is used to describe the act of seeking God's attention and intervention through prayer, highlighting the earnestness and fervency of the supplicant. 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 entreating or supplicating was not merely a ritualistic practice but a heartfelt expression of dependence on God. The Israelites believed in a personal God who was responsive to the prayers of His people. This belief is reflected in the use of "athar" in various contexts, where individuals or communities sought God's favor, guidance, or deliverance.
