Strong's Lexicon seber: Hope, expectation Original Word: שֵׂבֶר Word Origin: Derived from the root verb שָׂבַר (sabar), which means "to hope" or "to wait expectantly." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often associated with the concept of hope is ἐλπίς (elpis), Strong's Greek #1680, which also denotes expectation and trust, particularly in the New Testament context. Usage: The Hebrew word "seber" primarily conveys a sense of hope or expectation. It is used in the context of looking forward to something with anticipation, often with a sense of trust or confidence in a positive outcome. This term is closely related to the idea of waiting patiently for God's promises or deliverance. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, hope was not merely a passive wish but an active trust in God's faithfulness and promises. The concept of "seber" reflects a deep-seated belief in the reliability of God's word and His covenant with His people. This hope was often expressed in times of distress or uncertainty, serving as a source of strength and encouragement.
