Strong's Lexicon shad: Breast Original Word: שַׁד Word Origin: Derived from an unused root meaning to be burly or strong. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent for "shad," the concept of nourishment and care can be related to Greek words like "τροφή" (trophe - nourishment) and "στήθος" (stēthos - breast). Usage: The Hebrew word "shad" primarily refers to the female breast. It is often used in the context of nourishment and fertility, symbolizing sustenance and maternal care. In the Bible, it is sometimes used metaphorically to describe abundance and blessing, as well as the nurturing aspect of God's provision. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the breast was a powerful symbol of life and sustenance. It represented the nurturing aspect of motherhood and the provision of essential nourishment for infants. This imagery was often extended to describe divine care and blessing, as the breast was seen as a source of life and growth.
