Strong's Lexicon Sheerah: Sheerah Original Word: שֶׁאֱרָה Word Origin: Derived from the Hebrew root שָׁעַר (sha'ar), meaning "to remain" or "to be left over." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct Greek equivalents for the name Sheerah, as it is a unique Hebrew proper noun. However, the concept of building or constructing can be related to Greek words like οἰκοδομέω (oikodomeo - Strong's Greek 3618), meaning "to build." Usage: Sheerah is a proper noun used as a personal name in the Hebrew Bible. It refers to a woman mentioned in the genealogies of the tribe of Ephraim. The name Sheerah is associated with strength and leadership, as she is credited with building cities. Cultural and Historical Background: In the context of ancient Israel, genealogies were significant for establishing tribal identities and inheritance rights. The mention of Sheerah, a woman, in the genealogical records is notable, as it highlights her exceptional role in a predominantly patriarchal society. Her association with the construction of cities suggests she held a position of influence and capability, which was uncommon for women of that era.
