These Greek terms capture similar notions of aesthetic and moral beauty as found in the Hebrew שֶׁפֶר (Shepher). Usage: The term שֶׁפֶר (Shepher) is used in the context of beauty or fairness, often to describe something aesthetically pleasing or of good appearance. Context: • The Hebrew word שֶׁפֶר (Shepher) is a noun that conveys the concept of beauty or fairness. It is derived from the root שָׁפַר (shaphar), which implies being beautiful or fair. This term is used in the Hebrew Bible to describe physical beauty or the aesthetic quality of an object or person. • In the Berean Standard Bible, the word is used in contexts that highlight the attractiveness or pleasing nature of something. For example, in Genesis 49:21, the beauty of Naphtali is metaphorically described, "Naphtali is a doe set free that bears beautiful fawns." • The concept of beauty in the Hebrew Bible often extends beyond mere physical appearance, encompassing qualities such as grace, favor, and the divine order of creation. The use of שֶׁפֶר (Shepher) reflects the Hebrew appreciation for the harmony and aesthetic value found in God's creation.
