Strong's Lexicon tsori or tseri or tsori: Balm, balsam Original Word: צְרִי Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to crack (as by pressure), hence to leak. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent in the Strong's Concordance, but the concept of healing and anointing can be related to Greek words such as "ἔλαιον" (elaion - oil) and "χρίσμα" (chrisma - anointing). Usage: The term "tsori" refers to a resinous substance, often translated as "balm" or "balsam," known for its healing and soothing properties. In the biblical context, it is frequently associated with the region of Gilead, known for producing this valuable commodity. It is used metaphorically to signify healing and restoration. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient times, balm was a highly prized commodity, often used for medicinal purposes, embalming, and as a perfume. The balm of Gilead, in particular, was renowned for its quality and effectiveness. The region of Gilead, located east of the Jordan River, was famous for its production of this balm, which was traded extensively throughout the ancient Near East.
