Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G2347 (θλῖψις, thlipsis): This Greek term is often translated as "tribulation" or "affliction," conveying a sense of pressure or constraint, similar to the Hebrew concept of being held back or restricted. • G5014 (τάραχος, tarachos): This Greek word means "disturbance" or "trouble," which can relate to the idea of constraint or disruption in a broader sense, though it is not a direct equivalent to עֹצֶר (otser). These entries provide a comprehensive understanding of the term עֹצֶר (otser) within its biblical and theological context, highlighting its significance in conveying themes of divine control and human response. Usage: The term עֹצֶר (otser) is used in the context of describing a state of being closed or constrained, often in relation to natural phenomena or divine intervention. Context: • The Hebrew word עֹצֶר (otser) appears in the context of describing a divine act of restraint or closure, particularly in relation to the heavens or rain. This term is used to illustrate the withholding of rain as a form of divine judgment or intervention. The concept of "closure" or "constraint" is significant in understanding the relationship between divine sovereignty and natural events. • In the Berean Standard Bible, the term is used to describe situations where God exercises control over the natural order, demonstrating His power and authority. For example, in 1 Kings 8:35, Solomon prays, "When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, and they pray toward this place and confess Your name and turn from their sin because You have afflicted them." • The use of עֹצֶר (otser) underscores the theological theme of divine retribution and mercy, where God’s withholding of rain serves as both a punishment for sin and a call to repentance. It reflects the covenant relationship between God and His people, where obedience leads to blessing and disobedience to constraint.
