Strong's Lexicon sheer: Flesh, body, kindred, relative Original Word: שְׁאֵר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to swell up or to be fleshy Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4561 (σάρξ, sarx) - Often translated as "flesh," referring to the physical body or human nature. - G4773 (συγγενής, suggenēs) - Meaning "relative" or "kinsman," emphasizing familial connections. Usage: The Hebrew word "שְׁאֵר" (sheer) primarily refers to "flesh" or "body," often used in the context of close kinship or familial relationships. It signifies the physical aspect of human beings and is sometimes used metaphorically to denote close relationships, such as those of blood relatives or marriage. The term underscores the intimate and binding nature of these relationships, emphasizing the shared physical and familial bonds. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, family and kinship were central to social structure and identity. The concept of "sheer" reflects the importance of familial bonds and responsibilities. Marriages and family ties were not only personal but also communal, affecting inheritance, social status, and religious duties. The term "sheer" would have been understood as encompassing both the physical and relational aspects of kinship, highlighting the interconnectedness of family members.
