Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root verb בָּחַר (bachar), meaning "to choose" or "to select." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: • G1415: δυνατός (dunatos) • Often translated as "mighty" or "powerful," this Greek term can correspond to the strength and capability implied by בָּחוּר (bachur). • G3494: νεανίας (neanias) • This Greek word means "young man" and is a direct equivalent to בָּחוּר (bachur) in terms of age and stage of life. • G3495: νεανίσκος (neaniskos) • Similar to νεανίας, this term also refers to a "young man" and is used in contexts that emphasize youth and vigor. In summary, בָּחוּר (bachur) is a term rich with implications of choice, strength, and the potential inherent in youth, reflecting the cultural and theological values of the biblical text. Usage: The word בָּחוּר (bachur) appears in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible, often describing young men who are chosen for their vigor, strength, or suitability for a particular role or task. It is used both literally and metaphorically to convey the idea of being in the prime of life. Context: The term בָּחוּר (bachur) is frequently used in the Old Testament to describe young men who are in the prime of their physical and mental capabilities. This word is often associated with qualities such as strength, vitality, and readiness for battle or service. For instance, in Isaiah 40:30, it is written, "Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall," highlighting the natural vigor of young men, yet also their human limitations. In the context of military service, בָּחוּר (bachur) is used to describe those who are chosen for their physical prowess and ability to serve as warriors, as seen in passages like 1 Samuel 8:16, where young men are conscripted for service. The term also appears in poetic and prophetic literature, symbolizing the ideal qualities of youth and the potential for future leadership and strength. The use of בָּחוּר (bachur) underscores the cultural value placed on youth as a time of opportunity and potential in ancient Israelite society.
