Berean Strong's Lexicon zeroa: Arm, strength, power Original Word: זְרוֹעַ Word Origin: Derived from the root זָרַע (zara), meaning "to sow" or "to scatter seed." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1023 (brachion): Refers to the arm, often used in the Septuagint to translate "zeroa." - G2904 (kratos): Meaning strength or power, used in the New Testament to describe God's might. Usage: The Hebrew word "zeroa" primarily refers to the physical arm of a person or being, often symbolizing strength, power, or might. It is used metaphorically to describe the power and might of God, as well as the strength of individuals or nations. In the context of sacrificial offerings, "zeroa" can also refer to the shoulder or foreleg of an animal. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Near Eastern cultures, the arm was a common symbol of strength and power. The imagery of an outstretched arm was often used to depict divine intervention or deliverance. In the Hebrew Bible, God's "arm" is frequently associated with His mighty acts of salvation and judgment. The concept of the arm as a symbol of power is also reflected in various ancient artifacts and inscriptions from surrounding cultures.
