Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb מָסַר (masar), meaning "to bind" or "to deliver." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G706 (ἄρτιος, artios), which means "complete" or "perfect." While not a direct translation, the concept of completeness or perfection can be related to the idea of something being bound or held together in a complete form. The Greek term emphasizes the state of being whole or fully equipped, which can metaphorically align with the Hebrew concept of a band that unites or secures. Usage: The term מֶסֹרֶת is used in the Hebrew Bible to denote a physical or metaphorical band, often implying a form of restraint or connection. Context: The Hebrew word מֶסֹרֶת (mesoret) appears in the context of describing a band or bond. It is derived from the root מָסַר (masar), which conveys the idea of binding or delivering. This term is used to describe something that holds or ties together, whether in a literal or figurative sense. In the biblical narrative, bands or bonds can symbolize various forms of connection or restraint, such as familial ties, covenants, or even physical bindings. The concept of binding is significant in the Hebrew Scriptures, often reflecting themes of unity, obligation, or captivity. The use of מֶסֹרֶת in the biblical text underscores the importance of these themes in the cultural and religious life of ancient Israel.
