Strong's Lexicon athar: To pray, to entreat, to supplicate Original Word: אֲתַר Word Origin: A primitive root Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G4336 (προσεύχομαι, proseuchomai) - to pray - G1189 (δέομαι, deomai) - to beseech, to entreat Usage: The Hebrew verb "athar" primarily means to pray or to entreat earnestly. It conveys a sense of pleading or supplication, often in the context of seeking divine intervention or favor. The term is used to describe the act of prayer that is fervent and heartfelt, indicating a deep reliance on God. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Israelite culture, prayer was a central aspect of religious life, serving as a means of communication with God. The act of entreating or supplicating was not merely a ritualistic practice but a sincere expression of faith and dependence on the divine. The Israelites believed in a personal God who was responsive to their prayers, and "athar" captures this dynamic relationship. The practice of prayer was often accompanied by fasting, sacrifices, or other acts of devotion, reflecting the seriousness and urgency of the supplicant's request.
