Strong's Lexicon teshurah: Gift, present, offering Original Word: תְּשׁוּרָה Word Origin: Derived from the root שׁוּר (shur), meaning "to journey" or "to travel." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Greek equivalent in Strong's Concordance, the concept of a gift or offering can be related to Greek terms such as δῶρον (dōron, Strong's G1435) and προσφορά (prosphora, Strong's G4376), which also denote gifts or offerings. Usage: The term "teshurah" refers to a gift or present, often given as a token of respect, gratitude, or to seek favor. It is used in contexts where a tangible offering is presented to someone, typically of higher status or authority, to express goodwill or to secure a favorable outcome. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the giving of gifts was a common practice to establish and maintain relationships, show respect, or seek favor. Gifts were often exchanged during visits, negotiations, or as part of diplomatic relations. The act of giving a "teshurah" was not merely transactional but carried significant social and relational implications, reflecting the giver's intentions and the nature of the relationship with the recipient.
