Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Derived from the root שׁוּר (shur), which means "to travel" or "to journey." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The corresponding Greek entry in Strong's Concordance is G5038, τειχος (teichos), which also means "a wall." This Greek term is used in the New Testament to describe city walls or fortifications, similar to the Hebrew concept of שׁוּר (shur) as a protective barrier. The use of τειχος (teichos) in the New Testament continues the theme of walls as essential structures for defense and separation, reflecting the continuity of this concept from the Hebrew Scriptures to the Greek texts. Usage: The word שׁוּר (shur) is used in the context of a physical wall or barrier, often referring to a structure that provides protection or demarcation. It is used in various contexts within the Hebrew Bible to describe physical walls or metaphorical barriers. Context: The Hebrew word שׁוּר (shur) appears in the Old Testament as a term for a wall or barrier. It is often associated with structures that serve as protective boundaries or enclosures. The concept of a wall in biblical times was significant, as it provided security and defined the limits of a city or a property. In the ancient Near Eastern context, walls were crucial for defense against invaders and for maintaining the integrity of a community. The term שׁוּר (shur) can also be metaphorically extended to describe spiritual or moral boundaries that protect individuals or communities from external threats. The use of שׁוּר (shur) in the Hebrew Bible underscores the importance of boundaries, both physical and spiritual, in maintaining order and security.
