Strong's Lexicon shasher: Chain, link Original Word: שָׁשַׁר Word Origin: Derived from a root word in Hebrew that is not widely attested, possibly related to concepts of connection or binding. Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint and the New Testament is "ἅλυσις" (halysis), which also means chain or bond. Usage: The term "shasher" is used to denote a physical chain or a series of links. In the context of the Hebrew Bible, it often symbolizes bondage or servitude, but can also represent strength and unity when used in a positive sense. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israel, chains were commonly used for various purposes, including as restraints for prisoners or as decorative items in jewelry. Chains could symbolize both oppression and adornment, depending on the context. The imagery of chains is prevalent in biblical literature, often serving as a metaphor for spiritual or physical bondage.
