Strong's Lexicon sheger: Offspring, young, increase Original Word: שֶׁגֶר Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to bear or bring forth Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There is no direct Greek equivalent for "sheger" in the Strong's Greek Dictionary, as it is a term specific to Hebrew agricultural and pastoral contexts. However, the concept of offspring and increase can be related to Greek terms like "γένος" (genos) meaning race or kind, and "καρπός" (karpos) meaning fruit or produce. Usage: The Hebrew word "sheger" primarily refers to the offspring or young of animals, particularly livestock. It is used in the context of agricultural and pastoral life, emphasizing the increase and productivity of herds and flocks. This term underscores the importance of fertility and abundance in the agrarian society of ancient Israel. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, livestock was a critical component of wealth and sustenance. The increase of herds and flocks was seen as a blessing from God, reflecting His provision and favor. The term "sheger" would have been significant in a culture that relied heavily on agriculture and animal husbandry for survival and economic stability. The health and multiplication of livestock were vital for food, clothing, and trade.
